Thermal resistance was measured using a guarded‐hotplate similar to that specified in ISO 11092:1993(E). During simulated use, the site of measurement, body position...

...Evangelos Liasi; Ruxu Du; Dan Simon; Jasmina Bujas‐Dimitrejevic; Frank Liburdi This paper presents an experimental study on needle heating in sewing heavy materials such as upholstery fabrics. In the experiments, infrared (IR) radiometry, high speed line scanning IR radiometry, and high speed IR...
