Nonlinear Buckling of Woven Fabrics Part II: Recovery from Buckling and Experimental Verification
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract In the first part of this paper, the fabric buckling model proposed by Grosberg and Swani was modified by incorporating Huang's bilinear bending rule. This buckling theory is further extended to model the recovery behavior by incorporating the bilinear bending rule. This model removes ...
Comfort Analysis of Woven Cotton/Polyester Fabrics Modified with a New Elastic Fiber, Part 1 Preliminary Analysis of Comfort and Mechanical Properties
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract This study aimed to establish the effect on comfort of introducing the DOW XLA(TM) fiber in woven polyester/cotton fabrics used for professional wear end use. The comfort elements analyzed in this study were thermal and moisture sensations, tactile sensations, and pressure sensations. A ...
Fabric Stitching Inspection Using Segmented Window Technique and BP Neural Network
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract In the textile and clothing industry, much research has been conducted on fabric defect automatic detection. However, few have been specifically designed for evaluating fabric stitches or seams of semi-finished and finished garments. In this paper, a fabric stitching inspection method ...
3-D Surface Reconstruction and Evaluation of Wrinkled Fabrics by Stereo Vision
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract This paper presents a stereo vision system for reconstructing the three-dimensional (3-D) surface of a wrinkled fabric and for detecting and characterizing wrinkles to evaluate the severity of wrinkling. The system captures a pair of images through two 10.2-megapixel digital cameras, ...
Research on the Breaking and Tearing Strengths and Elongation of Automobile Seat Cover Fabrics
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract The automotive industry is a major customer of the technical textiles market. In this industry, seat covers are the most important application area of technical textiles. As the customer demands increase and competition among original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) becomes more intense, ...
An Improvement on Water Retaining and Agent Distribution of PET Non-woven Fabrics Treated with the Low Molecular Weight Polyurethane Solutions
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract In this study, diphenylmethane thisocyanate (MDI), 2,2-bis(hydroxymethy)-propionic acid (DMPA), and polytetramethyleneglycol (PTMG) were employed to polymerize the low molecular weight polyurethane (LMWPU). The mole ratios for the LMWPUs were 4.0:1.5:0.5, 4.0:1.0:1.0, and 4.0:0.5:1.5, ...
Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract During the last several years, the demand of animal natural fibers for the production of high-quality textiles has increased worldwide, especially in Europe, Japan and North America. Due to the restricted availability and the high prices, adulteration and false declaration are common ....
Low Water and Energy Saving Process for Cotton Pretreatment
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract Cotton fabric was alkaline scoured with sodium hydroxide and bioscoured with acid or alkaline pectinases. In addition, the scoured fabrics were bleached with hydrogen peroxide (HP) or peracetic acid (PAA). The cotton fabric was treated simultaneously with pectinases and PAA in a onebath ...
Study of Amino Functional Polysiloxane Film on Regenerated Cellulose Substrates by Atomic Force Microscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Microscopy
Jan 01, 2009; ... Abstract Film morphology, surface compositions and hydrophobic properties of N-β-aminoethyl-γ-aminopropyl polysiloxane (ASO-1) coated on regenerated cellulose (cel) substrate surface (ASO-1/cel) were investigated and studied by atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron ...
