About this title

Synopsis

The textile industry can experience a vast array of problems, and modeling can highlight the mechanisms involved and analyze useful predictive results for solving these problems. This book provides an overview of how textile modeling can be used within the textile industry. The first group of chapters reviews the different types of models and methods of how models can predict textile structures and behavior. The second group of chapters presents a selection of case studies, expressing the strengths, limitations, and how various models are applied in specific applications. Chapters include the modeling of color and drape in textiles.

About the Author

Dr Xiaogang Chen obtained his PhD in Textile Engineering from the University of Leeds in 1991. He is currently a reader in technical textiles in the School of Materials, The University of Manchester. In the field of modelling, he worked on mathematical models leading to the creation of CAD software for 2D and 3D woven fabrics. He also researched into geometric and mechanical modelling of textiles for engineering technical textiles. He has applied his modelling approach into the prediction of textile behaviour in energy absorption, fluid filtration, textile composites and ballistic protection.
