摘要
Equations that can predict worsted fabrics’ properties such as bending, shearing, compression, surface and tension, were achieved by means of theoretical and experimental studies. By combining these equations with Kawabata’s hand and silhouette evaluation methods, a software system was established. Then the mechanical properties, hand and silhouette of a fabric can be predicted quickly and accurately in terms of fiber configurations, yarn and fabric structures. The predictive result if unsatisfied can be revised by the function of “Help for designing modification”.
