Theoretical structural realization for the development of MWSF The MWSF proposed also consists of two fabric layers, in which the top and bottom are similar to conventional woven spacer fabrics. These layers are connected together by profiled wires as opposed to pile yarns or fabric layers, which are used in conventional woven spacer fabrics. Structural variation possibilities Theoretical structural variation possibilities for the development of MWSF can be realised by the interlacement of yarns, profiled wire geometry, direction of insertion of the profiled wire in between the top and bottom layer of fabrics, the number of yarns per repeat and the undulation Further structural variation of MWSF structures can be realized considering the direction of profiledof weft wire yarnsinsertion. in between the upper and lower layer of MWSF during weaving.

  • Natural Fibres Information
    NATURAL FIBRES AS TEXTILES THEORY LEARNING OBJECTIVE By the end of the lesson I should be able to… Explain how natural fibres are produced Identify and explain a range of natural fibres WHAT IS .......... A FIBRE? A fibre is a fine strand that looks a little like a human hair. There are long or short fibres and smooth or fluffy ones. What the fibre is like will have an impact on what the fabric it is made into is like. Fibres are categorised by their length; Staple fibres – short fibres (cotton, wool and linen Filament fibres – long fibres (silk and manmade fibres) There are 3 types of fibres: Natural Regenerated Synthetic A fibre is made of monomers joined together in long chains to form polymers FORMATION OF FABRICS Fibre Twisted Felted or Yarn Bonded Woven or Knitted Fabric CELLULOSIC FIBRES Fibres that originate from plants (e.g. The cotton plant or flax plant) Natural Cellulosic Fibres Linen, Cotton, Jute, Hemp, Ramie, Pineapple, Banana, Bamboo Natural fibres that grow in the ground are called vegetable or plant fibres. All plants are made from cellulose fibres so you will sometimes hear this term. Cotton and linen are the most common vegetable fibres but there are other types, e.g. jute, hemp. Advantages Disadvantages Strong Crease badly** Good at absorbing moisture Take a long time to dry Can be washed and ironed at high Can shrink** temperatures Easy to set alight COTTON • Source – grows on plants in hot, wet climates • Physical properties – strong, resists abrasion, durable, absorbent, dries slowly, creases easily, cool to wear • Aesthetic properties – fibres are 15–50mm long and fabrics tend to have a slightly fluffy surface because of this • End uses – underwear, bedding, nightwear, t-shirts, shirts, dresses, jeans, towels, handkerchiefs • Fabric names – denim, poplin, terry towel, velvet, corduroy, chintz • Aftercare – Can be washed and ironed at high temperatures, best ironed when damp, can be bleached • Other facts – Mercerized finish can remove fluffy surface, commonly blended with Polyester.

D. Wilson, Director, and distributed in furtherance of the purposes of the coOperative agri­ cultural extension work provided for in the Act of Congress of May 8, 1914. TEXTILES What Every Homemaker Should Know By Marion Weller, Division of Home Economics INTRODUCTION The women of this country are realizing that an intelligent expenditure of the family income is necessary to efficient homemaking. An examination of household budgets, compil ed by investigators-the budgets of individuals and families living on the lowest incomes adequate for physical efficiency-reveals the fact that from 15 to 25 per cent of the income is spent for clothing and home furnishings. It is, moreover, a fact that women are increasingly the I direct retail purchasers; 90 per cent of the money spent for home maintenance , in this country is spent by women. The homemaker who is the purchaser of the clothing and household fabrics should, therefore, know how to buy eco­ I I nomically, and it is the purpose of this bulletin to give to her such in formation concerning textile fabrics as may be helpful in planning and buying for the household. " There was a time when the production of textiles or woven fabrics for the home was entirely within the home. Women were the creators of these utili­ ties and ' controlled the quality of the product. They knew when a piece of cloth was all wool and what grade of wool went into it.

    ECCM15 - 15TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON COMPOSITE MATERIALS, Venice, Italy, 24-28 June 2012 EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL EVALUATION OF CRASH AND IMPACT LOADED TEXTILE REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC COMPONENTS 1 1 1* 1 1 1 W. A. Hufenbach , A. Langkamp , A. Hornig , H. Böhm , T. Weber , M. Berthel 1 Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology, Technische Universität Dresden, Holbeinstraße 3, 01307 Dresden, Germany * [email protected] (corresponding author) Keywords: textile composites, crash and impact, numerical analysis, strain rate dependency. Abstract The crash and impact behaviour of textile reinforced thermoplastics is investigated. Firstly, a strain rate dependent parameter identification strategy for a multi-layered flat bed weft- knitted fabric (MKF) and a woven fabric (Twintex®) is discussed. In addition to that, in total 29 crash and impact verification test cases were performed. A phenomenological 3D material model based on the Cuntze failure criteria, accounting for strain rate dependency and damage evolution is presented. In Abaqus/Explicit a user defined material model (VUMAT) is used to apply the elaborated material model within finite element (FE) studies of the crash and impact experiments. Exemplary numerical and experimental results are presented and compared. 1 Introduction With short cycle times for a highly productive manufacturing process and excellent specific mechanical properties, textile reinforced thermoplastic composites are predestined for the development and design of material and energy efficient lightweight structures. Especially due to their high energy absorption capacity, this material group is increasingly considered for applications in the field of crash and impact resistant design. However, with regard to the complex loading conditions resulting from crash and impact configurations there is still a lack of well founded knowledge especially in the field of the damage and failure behaviour of composites with textile reinforcement.
