.... The purpose of this paper is to reveal the mass transfer in the human-textile-environment dynamic system. Design/methodology/approach With a simulated hotplate mounted on a rotational testing platform, this paper focuses on the dynamic mass transfer of a fabric so as to simulate the real-time mass...

...Wenbin Li; Weilin Xu; Xin Wang Purpose Clothing is subject to a dynamic thermal transport process in its routine service in which the apparel and human body together with environment interact with each other. Understanding of the thermal transfer in this case should take the variations of human...

...Wenbin Li; Peiqing Jiang; Xin Wang; GaoWen Li; Weilin Xu Purpose – In this study, a novel dynamic testing method was established to measure the moisture variation of fabric surface during the process of moisture liberation in simulated windy condition. The paper aims to discuss these issues...

...Jerzy Zajaczkowski Torsional vibrations of a shaft induced by a zigzag mechanism in a sewing machine with an oscillatory hook are studied in this paper. The dynamic equations of the motion are derived using the principle of virtual work. The discrete forms of the functions relating the motion...
