... to focus on the nondestructive evaluation of the canopy fabric's fitness by testing air permeability and relating it with bursting strength. Predictor equations were developed to determine bursting strength from air permeability values. Design/methodology/approach ANOVA techniques and statistical...

... and second each group was divided into two groups by silhouette (tight and loose fit). Basic mechanical properties of these fabric samples were determined by the KES‐measuring system. The result is as follows. Several equations for discriminating the type and silhouette of ladies' garments were derived...

...C. Högfors; B. Edberg General shell equations of motion applicable to the structures of arbitrary topology are derived. The formulation is co‐ordinate‐free and local equations suitable for computation are easily written down for arbitrary choices of co‐ordinate systems. © MCB UP Limited 1990...
