Publisher's Synopsis
Understanding and predicting the structure and properties of woven textiles is important for achieving specific performance characteristics in various woven applications. Woven textiles are used in a range of products such as apparel, technical, and industrial textiles. Woven Textile Structure: Theory and Applications provides comprehensive coverage of the structure, behavior, modeling, and design of woven fabrics and their relevance to the textile industry.
The first group of chapters review the fundamental principles of woven fabric structures. Part two discusses the mechanics of woven fabrics, with topics including shrinkage in woven fabrics, yarn behavior in woven fabrics, and bending behavior of woven fabrics. Part three presents a selection of chapters on design engineering of woven fabrics, to discuss themes such as textile product design methods and modeling for woven fabric design. A final group of chapters is dedicated to addressing practical applications of woven fabrics.
