Today, Jacquard woven fabric producers are able to digitally control each warp yarn individually, pre-program the variable pick density and speed for each filling yarn, and automatically change a pattern without stopping the weaving process. Jacquard CAD systems dramatically reduce the time to produce fabric from the artwork or target design The process of weave/color selection for each area of the pattern is, however, still highly dependent on the CAD system operator who works from a particular color gamut. Multiple weaving trials are required to get a sample that matches the original artwork since the process requires the designer‘s subjective evaluation. The lack of automatic selection of weaves/color matching prompts this research. This paper addresses the development of a geometric model for predicting the color contribution of each warp and filling yarn on the fabric surface in terms of construction parameters. The combination of geometric modeling and existing color mixing equations enables the prediction of the final color of different areas of a Jacquard pattern. The model was verified experimentally and a close agreement was found between a color mixing equation and the experimental measurements.

Abstract Nitinol in the form of wires, tubes, and plates have been explored extensively; however, the characteristics of Nitinol as a woven fabric have so far been little-studied analytically. It would be easier to design such a fabric if conventional fabric models were known to apply to Nitinol fabrics, potentially with modifications required by Nitinol’s unique properties. A 25 mm wide Nitinol narrow fabric has been manufactured using traditional weaving equipment using a proprietary process that achieves a uniform and tight weave. Heat-treatment and straight shape-set is applied to a single Nitinol wire and the woven Nitinol fabric at 600°C for 30 minutes. The 0.25 mm Nitinol wire constituent was tested using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the transition temperatures (Mf, Ms, As, and Af), which were found on average to be 54.5°C, 66.9°C, 88.7°C, and 103.5°C respectively. Both the Nitinol wire and fabric were tested in a temperature-controlled chamber (testing temperatures ranged from room temperature to 200°C) in which the tensile stress-strain characteristics were observed. It was determined that existing analytical models can be employed to accurately estimate the overall tensile stiffness of woven Nitinol fabrics in a small-strain regime. Additionally, it was confirmed that the tensile loading of woven Nitinol fabric can be modeled in MSC.Adams with beam elements. In combination with the geometric model presented, woven Nitinol fabric behavior can be predicted from the experimental behavior of the constituent Nitinol wire.

The ability of a fabric to wick moisture away from the human body directly determines the moisture management ability of any given textile, and thereby has a great influence on the comfort offered by garments made from that textile. In this paper, the effects of tensile extension and liquid drop height on the transverse wicking behavior of a warp stretch woven fabric were systematically investigated. By virtue of the unique structure of the nylon/spandex air-covered warp yarn, the woven fabric has a denser and tighter surface, which facilitates its warp elastic stretchability beyond 60%. Furthermore, an acceptable cyclic tensile behavior at an extension of 30% was obtained, indicating the superior mechanical robustness of the fabric to a certain extent. The experimental results demonstrated that the transverse wicking performances of the fabric, including the wetting time and liquid spreading area, were dependent on the tensile extensions and the heights between the water droplet and the fabric surface. Specifically, the wetting time increased with an increase of tensile extension or a decrease of liquid drop height. The spreading area of the water droplet increases as a function of the wicking time, and it fits a power relation appropriately. In addition, the water vapor transmission behavior of our fabric during stretch was clarified. Such work is essential to get an in-depth evaluation of the wicking behavior of complex stretchable fabric structures.

The aim of this study was to investigate the damage to cotton fabrics (ticking and damask) caused by stitching with three types of needle point shapes (R, SES and SUK) and four needle sizes (70, 80, 90 and 100 Nm). Damage to the yarn and the surface area of the hole were investigated. Based on the results, it can be concluded that two types of damage occur during sewing: the needle passes through the warp/weft (it displaces the yarn) and the needle damages the warp/weft. An analysis and comparison of the surface area of the holes was carried out, obtained by a computer program based on microscopic images. The results show greater damage to the yarn at the needle piercing point in the ticking due to higher density, friction and low yarn migration. The largest surface area of the holes was produced when sewing with SUK-designated needles on ticking and damask. When sewing damask, R-designated needles cause the least damage to the piercing point, whereas SES-designated needles give the best results when sewing the ticking. Thread damage was further confirmed by testing the tensile properties of the yarn at the needle piercing points.

AbstractThe geometric model accuracy is crucial for product design. More complex surfaces are represented by the approximation methods. On the contrary, the approximation methods reduce the design quality. A new alternative calculation method is proposed. The new method can calculate both conical sections and more complex curves. The researcher is able to get an analytical solution and not a sequence of points with the destruction of the object semantics. The new method is based on permutation and other symmetries and should have an origin in the internal properties of the space. The classical method consists of finding transformation parameters for symmetrical conic profiles, however a new procedure for parameters of linear transformations determination was acquired by another method. The main steps of the new method are theoretically presented in the paper. Since a double result is obtained in most stages, the new calculation method is easy to verify. Geometric modeling in the AutoCAD environment is shown briefly. The new calculation method can be used for most complex curves and linear transformations. Theoretical and practical researches are required additionally.

For the design of surfaces in architecture, as a rule, universal techniques developed for other technical industries are used. First of all, these are general kinematic surfaces and interpolation cubic splines for modeling complex piecewise smooth surfaces. The authors propose to use the fourth degree inerodifferential spline developed by them for problems of geometric modeling of architectural forms. For calculations and constructions on a computer, the proposed spline is not much more complicated than traditional cubic splines, since it has one additional parameter - a coefficient. However, this allows you to locally control the shape of a curve or surface during design, that is, to change the shape in individual areas without affecting other areas. The article proposes a method for constructing a geometric model of the kinematic surface of dependent sections with a fourth degree parabola as a generator. When using cubic splines as a guide, the surface is a 3 × 4 non-uniform (heterogeneous) spline. The article shows that the surface on the basis of the proposed mathematical apparatus can be composite piecewise-smooth. A particular case of surface design is considered on the example of creating a model of the surface of the facade of a residential building according to the existing concept. The algorithm can be easily programmed and added as a tool to existing CAD systems.

The synthetic leather base is a composite, with the top and lower layers are nonwovens and the middle is woven fabrics. Firstly, the single rip tearing strength and drawing out resistances of the leather base were tested and tearing failure mechanics were analyzed. Then on the above basis, the single rip tearing strength calculation model of the synthetic leather base was built successfully. From theoretical model, main influencing factors are the weft and warp yarn breaking strength and the density of warp and weft yarns in the woven fabric, and also drawing out resistance of the leather base. Finally, experimental verification was made for the established model, which shows that theoretical values conform to the measured values well.

A three-dimensional (3D) geometric model for predicting muscle forces in the shoulder complex is proposed. The model was applied throughout the range of arm elevation in the scapular plan. In vitro testing has been performed on 13 cadaveric shoulders. The objectives were to determine homogeneous values of physiological parameters of shoulder muscles and to locate sites of muscular attachment to any bone of the shoulder complex. Muscular fiber lengths, lengths of contractile element (CE), and muscle volumes were measured, corresponding physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) were calculated, and force/length muscle relations were found. An in vivo biplanar radiography was performed on five volunteers. The photogrammetric reconstruction of bone axes and landmarks were coupled with a geometric modeling of bones and muscle sites of attachment. Muscular paths were drawn and changes in lengths during movement have been estimated. Directions of muscle forces are the same as that of muscular path at the point of attachment to bone. Magnitudes of muscular forces were found from muscle lengths coupled with force/length relations. Passive forces were directly determined contrary to active muscle forces. A resulting active muscle force is calculated from balancing weight and passive forces at each articular center. Active muscle forces were calculated by distributing the resulting force among active muscles based on the muscular PCSA values.

One of the key activities in any product design process is to develop a geometric model of the product from the conceptual ideas, which can then be augmented with further engineering information pertaining to the application area. For example, the geometric model of a design may be developed to include material and manufacturing information that can later be used in computer-aided process planning and manufacturing (CAPP/CAM) activities. A geometric model is also a must for any engineering analysis, such as finite elopement analysis (FEA). In mathematic terms, geometric modelling is concerned with defining geometric objects using computational geometry, which is often, represented through computer software or rather a geometric modelling kernel. Geometry may be defined with the help of a wire-frame model, surface model, or solid model. Geometric modelling has now become an integral part of any computer-aided design (CAD) system. In this chapter, various geometric modelling approaches, such as wire-frame, surface, and solid modelling will be discussed. Basic computational geometric methods for defining simple entities such as curves, surfaces, and solids are given. Concepts of parametric, variational, history-based, and history-free CAD systems are explained. These topics are discussed in this opening chapter because (a) CAD was the very first computer-aided technologies developed and (b) its related techniques and methods have been pervasive in the other related subjects like computer-aided manufacturing. This chapter only discusses CAD systems from the application point of view; CAD data formats and data exchange issues are covered in the second chapter.
