...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...

...Xiuchen Wang; Xiaojiu Li Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new recognition algorithm on quadratic local extremum for fabric density recognition. Design/methodology/approach The density wave is established to correctly detect density by searching local extremes. The gray wave...

...Jurgita Domskienė; Eugenija Strazdienė; Paule Bekampienė Purpose The purpose of this paper is to optimise parameters of digital image analysis to investigate the deformation behaviour of woven sample and to detect the onset and variation of wrinkling that occurs due to bias‐tensioned fabric...

...Daniela Zavec Pavlinic´; Jelka Geršak In transforming fabrics into garment it is necessary to know, besides the manner of processing, the behaviour of the fabric in particular manufacturing processes. It is necessary to define why and how fabrics behave in a particular way when exposed to various...

.... The new measuring procedure for asymmetric skirt drape near the side seam, based on bottom traces geometry, was developed in this paper. The experiment with four‐gored skirts of six lightweight fabrics was made. It was found that asymmetric drape depends on combination of grain lines directions of front...
