... ; Darwish et al., 2019). The graduated compression profile is created by applying more stretch to the inlay yarn at the ankle during knitting and then gradually decreasing the tension toward the top of the stocking. Also, by adjusting the tension and knit stitch densities of the GCS along the ankle...

... postures Compression Ease allowance Pattern block Virtual evaluation Recruitment Program of Global Experts of China 141002 Diving has become more and more widespread all over the world and the demand for diving suits by diving enthusiasts have gradually increased (Jinghua and Ping...

...Laima Muraliene; Daiva Mikucioniene Purpose Air permeability has a valuable role in comfort parameters. It is known that air permeability of elastomeric yarns is firmly low. Despite that, usage of elastomeric inlay-yarns is the most common and the most effective way to generate compression...

...Brett Ellis; Erin Kirkpatrick; Sonal Kothari Phan; Stacy Imler; Haskell Beckham Purpose Stretch fabrics are employed to create compression in garments for medical, sports, and fitness applications. Although potential correlations between wearing compression garments and physiological...

.... Design/methodology/approach All the necessary information was collected through questionnaires, anthropometric measurements and evaluation of compression forces between the different prototypes. Findings It was possible to conclude that to create a better design some alterations need to be made...

...Mari Inoue; Satoshi Kurata We predict the compression properties of blankets from the blanket structure and the fiber bending property. This study applies to the theory developed originally for the compressive deformation of carpets by Kimura, Kawabata and Kawai in 1970 to blankets. As a result, we...

...A. Mukhopadyhay; A.K. Dash; V.K. Kothari The effect of pick density, constituent filament fineness and heat‐setting on the fabric thickness and compressional properties have been studied before and after laundering. With the increase in pick density fabric thickness, compression and compressibility...

... (1946a) in his study on the compression of wool fibres in bulk. The principle is based on measuring the compressional resistance by the consequent damping of the pendulum. Fabric compression is studied here instead of fibre compression so the pendulum in this study and pictured in Figure 4...

...Hiroko Yokura; Masae Nakanishi; Masako Niwa In order to establish an objective method of evaluating pillow comfort, we investigate the relation between the sensory evaluation of pillows and the compression properties of pillows. The subjective evaluation values of hardness, fitness and total...
