Simulate the Dynamic Draping Behavior of Woven and Knitted Fabrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article a practical mass-spring system was developed to simulate the draping of woven and knitted fabrics. The material properties important to fabric drape, including aerial density, tensile, shear, and bending properties were measured using the Kawabata Evaluation System and the experimental data were incorporated into the mass-spring model to simulate the dynamic draping behavior of a few selected woven and knitted fabrics. The draping of a garment made of the corresponding five types of fabrics was simulated as well. It was found in dynamic draping simulation that the selected knitted fabrics experience more deformation with smoother appearance than the woven fabrics due to their lower bending and shear moduli.

Mechanical Properties of Composite Materials Made of 3D Stitched Woven-knitted Preforms
This article presents an experimental investigation carried out to understand the mechanical behavior of composite materials made of 3D stitched woven-knitted basalt fabrics. The innovative preforms used consist of two outer layers of a plain woven fabric combined with two inner layers of weft-knitted fabrics. The weft-knitted fabrics selected for the study were varied plain knit, 1 × 1 rib, Mi...

متن کاملThe Influence of Machine Parameters on the Properties of Double Jersey Knitted Fabrics
The present work is an experimental account of the way in which several machine settings, particularly cylinder knock-over and dial-height, influence fabric dimensions, course length, bending behavior and load extension of fabrics produced on a circular knitting machine. The results show that there are certain optimum settings for such variables as knock-over depth and dial-height for producing...
