Lapping modeling of looped warp knitted jacquard fabrics based on web
In this paper a mathematical model of looped warp knitted jacquard fabric is proposed. The technology parameters cover chain notation, threading, jacquard pattern grid and so on are defined based on the matrix. A basic pattern matrix is derived from chain notation and threading using the block matrix. Then combined with the displacement data of jacquard girds, the jacquard pattern matrix is calculated. Finally, the stitch type and stitch position are obtained analyzing the pattern information in the previous matrix. Special stress is laid on the difference between two different displacement data of jacquard girds, RT = 0 and RT = 1, which results in inconsistent lapping for the same jacquard bitmap. The pattern models are implemented and the jacquard lapping bitmap and three-dimensional simulation are generated by a calculating program via Visualstudio2015 using C# and JavaScript. The results show that this model can distinguish two types displacement jacquard information. The parameter input process is simplified and the run time for calculation is also shortened. In addition, with the help of CAD system via the web, priorities including resource sharing, design-time saving, and efficiency improving are achieved.
