Textile manufacturing is a major industry in India. It is based on the conversion of three types of fibre into yarn which in turn is woven into fabrics. Fabrics are textile materials which are made through weaving ,knitting, braiding and bonding of fibres. Weaving is described as inter-lacing of two distinct set of threads to form cloth, rug or other type of woven textile. The lengthways thread...

Detection of defect on finished fabrics and their classification based on their appearance plays a vital role in inspection of both hand-woven and machine woven fabrics. Generally the defect detection process is carried out by making use of the manual effort, during which some of fabric defects are very small and undistinguishable and can be identified only by monitoring the variation in the in...

We have examined the fabric-to-metal surface and fabric-to-fabric frictional characteristics (in both warp and weft directions) of a series of fabrics containing 100% polyester, 100% viscose, and P/C & P/V blends with different blend proportions. It has been observed that the normal load and the frictional force follow a logarithmic relationship for all the fabrics. The nature of fabric frictio...

INTRODUCTION Today, development of materials technology using biomass is expected for creation of a sustainable society. Especially, the composite consisting of plant-based natural fibers and biodegradable resin, so-called the fully-green composites, is much expected for practical use. So far, we made textile green composites using biodegradable resin and plain woven ramie fabric and explored t...

Abstract Fabric-based laminated composites are used considerably for multifaceted applications in the automotive, transportation, defense, and structural construction sectors. The fabrics composite materials production possess some outstanding features including being lighter weight, higher strength, lower cost, which helps explain rising interest these among researchers. However, laminations o...
