Fabric-based protective clothing is widely used for occupational safety of firefighters/industrial workers. The aim of this paper is to study thermal protective performance provided by fabric systems and to propose an effective model for predicting the thermal protective performance under various thermal exposures. Different fabric systems that are commonly used to manufacture thermal protectiv...

abstract in recent years, the old urban fabrics identification has become a challenging issue in urban planning society in iran. the insufficiency of triple indices which had been introduced by the high council on urban planning and architecture has been criticized by experts several times. in this paper we reconsider the existing urban fabrics identification method and introduce a suitable mod...

Specialized architectural studies based on the swarm concept have emerged for nearly two decades. The formation formula intelligence is beginning to emerge as a methodological and conceptual basis range of generative design strategies. logic which system can be seen in traditional urban formations, where cities follow models sustainable natural processes, best match simple rules system. Accordi...

This paper is focused on the segmentation of the fabric weave patterns for the urgent requirement of fabric imitative design and redesign.The weave patterns related to the fabric yarn are determined by a new technology, which is called bidimensional mode decomposition based method. The proposed method first iteratively decompose the underlying fabric image into a number of intrinsic mode functi...

In order to correctly identify the fabric density, a new algorithm based on binary feature matrix is proposed in this paper. A best threshold plane is determined by the gray level of fabric image, the 3D gray image of fabric is segmented according to the best threshold plane and a gray image of feature cluster is obtained. Then the feature cluster is normalized to transform the fabric image int...

While tailoring a garment or a technical textile, relaxation processes of a knitted fabric after production have to be taken into account. Such dimensional changes can occur during a long time of dry relaxation, during wet relaxation, or during washing relaxation, the latter having the strongest infl uence on a fabric. Besides fabric construction and yarn material, the dimensions of a knitted f...

Cities worldwide are urgently moving towards a more resilient and sustainable future. On this quest, national, regional, local governments apply combination of socio-spatial tools that regenerate transform the city’s leftover spaces. There is an abundance community gardens, cultural centers, large-scale urban developments that, through programmed activities, reactivate underused The bearers pro...
