Structure and Mechanics of Woven Fabrics

Optimizing the unique characteristics of textiles in applications for scientific and technological development requires an understanding of the structures and mechanics of fabrics. This unique book reviews all simple modes of deformations such as tensile, bending, shear, compression and complex, with an emphasis on the drape deformation of mainly woven fabrics. Structure and Mechanics of Woven Fabrics also discusses testing methods for the objective/instrumental measurements of fabric mechanical properties, as well as structure parameters.
