Modelling of Fabric in Plain Weave

Abstract:

In our work we tried to find a simple and reliable method to determine mechanical properties of a woven fabric with the main respect to the processing of these fabrics on a weaving machine. Some interesting results emerged by that way concerning for example the design of fabrics. We were using primarily the means of classical mechanics and we tried to avoid the use of computer resource demanding tools as much as possible. Also we were concerned by the applicability of results as large as possible since our weaving machines are processing a wide spectrum of fabrics.\parIn this paper, the principles of our approach are presented with some numerical examples. Few practical experiments were carried out at this moment, so only limited comparison with the reality could be done.
