Abstract Seersucker woven fabrics are characterized by their unique structure and properties. Surface topography is a crucial feature of the seersucker fabrics. It influences appearance performance Till now, no testing method has been developed to assess from point view surface geometry quantify effect. In present work, non-contact optical used determine parameters functions characterizing cott...

Glass fiber reinforced gypsum composites are new building materials that have been used in covering interior walls. Reinforcement by means of woven fabrics as a three dimensional material is an alternative to the use of short fibers. The application of appropriate fabrics can improve mechanical properties of gypsum composites. The aim of this research article is to investigate the effect of the...

A mesoscopic analytical model of wrinkling of Plain-Woven Composite Preforms (PWCPs) under the bias extension test is presented, based on a new instability analysis. The analysis is aimed to facilitate a better understanding of the nature of wrinkle formation in woven fabrics caused by large in-plane shear, while it accounts for the effect of fabric and process parameters on the onset of wrinkl...

The use of nanomaterials for strain sensors has attracted attention due to their unique electromechanical properties. However, nanomaterials have yet to overcome many technological obstacles and thus are not yet the preferred material for strain sensors. In this work, we investigated graphene woven fabrics (GWFs) for strain sensing. Different than graphene films, GWFs undergo significant change...

An overview of single and multiphase flows through woven and nonwoven fibrous materials is presented. A computational model for analyzing fluid flow through such media is described and sample computational results are presented. It is shown that by generating virtual geometries that resemble the microstructure of a fibrous material one can study the fluid and particle transport through such por...

This paper addresses the problem of simulating the mechanical behavior of cloth in computer animation, which is very important and challenging. The micro-structure of woven fabrics leads to significantly different shear reaction from other sheet materials, which has been neglected in previous approaches of cloth simulation. Therefore, it is beneficial for cloth simulation to model the shear buc...

Textile industry is one of the main sources of revenue generating industry. The price of fabrics is severely affected by the defects of fabrics that represent a major threat to the textile industry. In manual inspection a very small percentage of defects are detected with highly trained, experienced inspectors. An automatic defect detection system can increase the defect detection percentage. I...
