Modeling of Complex Fabric Structures by Methods of Computer Simulation

Abstract

Fabric quality, which may be defined as the satisfaction obtainable from required performance properties manifesting themselves in fabric usage, is a consequence of its physical structure. It is imperative that this structure shoud be stable during a resonable life of the fabric. Principles of design to define fabric structure satisfying these needs are quite well known and computer aided fabric design applications are widespread. In the case of design of fabrics of complex structure, however, there arise many problems and the current computer aided design software may not be adequate to cope with them. In this paper some important problems encountered in the design of simple and complex fabric structures are discussed in general, based on relevant literature. Three examples are given how they may be solved mathematically in a suitable way for computer applications to obtain computer simulations of complex fabric structures such as double woven fabrics, woven carpets and rib knit fabrics.

“…A method of structural design of double woven fabrics was developed which employed computer drawing and animation to search the best geometrical model of fabric cross sectional geometry that gave minimum space between yarns (Baser, 2015). The geometrical model was later applied in a M.Sc.…”

Warp-Knitted Fabrics Simulation Using Cardinal Spline and Recursive Rotation Frame

“…There are two popular approaches to building a yarn path curve: in the first, the yarn path curve is directly formed with formulas based on the assumption that the path can be divided into line and arc segments. Baser [1] used a sinus curve, approximating an elastic curve, to draw the yarn curve of woven fabrics. Dabiryan [2] drew warp-knitted loops with straight line segments.…”

Effects of Weft Count and Weft Density on Yarn Crimp% of Unbleached And Bleached 3/1(S) Twill Woven Fabrics

“…Also researchers have reported the effect of crimp on mechanical and physical properties of woven fabrics [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Studies of fabric geometry have played an important role in the mathematical description or prediction of crimp and a variety of models have been used by investigators [25][26][27][28][29][30]. Moreover, mathematical models for yarn shape in fabric structure are used for simulating plain woven fabric appearance [31].…”
