...Fatemeh Mousazadegan; Siamak Saharkhiz; Masoud Latifi Purpose The purpose of this paper is to model tension seam pucker by finite‐element method. Design/methodology/approach A linear three dimensional finite‐element analysis in ABAQUS 6.8 is used to model pucker formation under sewing thread...

.... Design/methodology/approach Spacing of warp and weft threads varies in shape region. Reeds with shaped reed wires are developed to change spacing of warp threads. Interlacement pattern of warp and weft threads is selected that assists in changing spacing of threads. The new approach of weaving three...

... combining textile, electronics and the software have attracted great attention in recent years. The integration of the electrical and electronic devices on the garment surface using conductive threads is a challenging issue considering conductiveness, long durability, washability and manufacturing process...

...Elena Chepelyuk; Valeriy Choogin; Jenny Cousens; Michael Hann Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the advantages of a new interpretation of the geometric disposition of threads within woven fabric structures, and to develop a method of determining the parameters of threads...

...Vinay Kumar Midha; V.K. Kothari; R. Chatopadhyay; A. Mukhopadhyay Purpose In this paper, the contribution of dynamic loading, needle and fabric, and the bobbin thread interaction on the changes in the tensile properties of the needle thread are to be investigated. Design/methodology/approach...

...Vaida Dobilaite; Milda Juciene Purpose The paper aims to evaluate the influence of mechanical properties of sewing threads on the seam pucker. Design/methodology/approach The mechanical properties of sewing thread were obtained performing tensile testing research. The seam pucker...

...Vaida Jonaitienė; Sigitas Stanys Purpose The goal of the research presented is to analyse seam strength properties of polyester and polyester‐polytetrafluoroethylene air‐jet textured sewing threads. Design/methodology/approach These threads are designed for sewing various garments...

...A. Mukhopadhyay; M. Sikka; A.K. Karmakar This paper reports an experimental investigation into the effect of laundering on seam tensile properties with the variation of stitch density, linear density of sewing threads and composition of base material. Tensile properties such as initial modulus...

...Jelka Geršak In this work the study of yield point of thread and stress in flow point is shown. The determination of this point is done with the well‐known Meredith’s and Coplan’s construction, which has the basis in tangent method and numerical method, which is developed from sufficient smooth...
