In this work, the quality of four plain single jersey weft-knitted fabrics (produced from same flax yarn) having different structural characteristics (stitch density, weight, and thickness) before after pilling, was examined. The knitted evaluated in terms their compression (compressibility, thickness loss, compressive resilience), comfort (air permeability water retention), strength (bursting ...

This paper reports fabric circuit boards (FCBs), a new type of circuit boards, that are three-dimensionally deformable, highly stretchable, durable and washable ideally for wearable electronic applications. Fabricated by using computerized knitting technologies at ambient dry conditions, the resultant knitted FCBs exhibit outstanding electrical stability with less than 1% relative resistance ch...

Elastic knitted fabric tubes are used as pressure garments and pressure bandages in compression therapy to mitigate many physical ailments of human beings. Laplace law has been extensively used for prediction of pressure at the interface of human body and elastic tube by many. However, it has been stated to be inadequate in some cases. Human body is compressible because of presence of soft tiss...

This study investigated existing dimensional variations in knitted fabrics produced by weft-knitting technology for knitting and dry relaxation, dyed wash relaxation the interlock, 1 × rib, single jersey structures. paper demonstrates that once structure has been knitted, shape loop takes fabric, length width, each state will be main factor responsible cotton fabrics. It also shows how affects ...

This work presents a new highly automated artificial vision inspection (AVI) tool for real-time defect detection and classification on circular knitting machines based on the combination of statistical analysis, Image Processing and Radon Transform. The tool (software + hardware) is directly attached to a circular knitting machine and the inspection is performed on-line. The automatic inspectio...

The problem of unpredictable shrinkage of cotton knitted fabrics and garments faced by the industry has been investigated by knitting single jersey cotton fabrics using the similar yarn and knitting parameters as used in the industry and finishing them. Through linear regression analysis, the variable factors, which affect the shrinkage and should be included in the domain of the quality contro...
