Abstract Purpose – For cloths having direct contact with the skin, comfort properties are a priority than the physical and mechanical properties. Innerwear clothes should induce pleasant feelings because they have a ...

This article focuses on the quasistatic axial compression behavior and the consequent energy absorption of three different types of carbon/epoxy braided composite tubes. The focus is to evaluate the effect of sample length ...

The compression behaviors of 2D plain woven basalt/vinyl ester resin composites along the thickness direction under high strain rates have been investigated experimentally and by use of finite element analyses. The compression ...

The psychological satisfaction of the textile customer is the fi rst criteria used to evaluate clothing and a lack of aesthetics, while fashionability and physical appearance contribute to the psychological discomfort of ...

This paper reports the structural effects of three-dimensional (3-D) angle-interlock woven composite (3DAWC) undergoing three-point bending cyclic loading from experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) approaches. In ...

Determination of tear and bursting strength of knitted fabric is important in order to understand resistance and elongation of the fabrics during use. This research aims at investigating tear and bursting strength of single ...

Consumers purchasing textiles usually feel fabrics for its tactile properties indicating that they are interested in comfort properties rather than other properties. During daily activities, low-stress mechanical action ...
