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. This book 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
