Firstly, according to the studying on the geometric structure of warp-knitted loops, Goktepe＇s 3D solid yarn model is developed, and the dimensions of the warp-knitted loops are obtained; then 3D models of stitch defined by eleven given points and in-lay defined by five given points are built with the method of Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline （NURBS） curves and surfaces. Secondly, according to the chain notations of warp-knitted structures, the loop＇s shape can be decided, and with the 3D models the loops can be connected freely and smoothly in some special warp-knitted structures, such as miss-lapping and two- course in-lay. At last, with the tools of Visual C ＋＋ and OpenGL, computer 3D simulation of two-bar warp-knitted fabrics is successfully realized, taking the factor of fabric light and materials into 3D structural model.展开更多

In this system, the speed control mode, faster response servo motor, no-flat modified trapezoid motion law, and its electronic cam were chosen; the realization standard and method were also introduced in details. The speed response curves of loaded motor indicated that the system could satisfy the technology requirements of high-speed warp- knitting machine which run at the speed of 1 000 r/min in the experiments, and the vibration curves showed that the guide bar had weaker mechanical impact and higher dynamic response characteristics. The results indicated that the flexible electronic shogging system designed following the previous step was successful, and the design principle of the electronic shngging was testified validly.展开更多

The tensile tests were conducted along warp direction( 0°) and weft direction( 90°) at quasi-static rate of 0. 001 s^(-1) and high strain rates ranging from 1 450 to 2 540 s^(-1),respectively. It is found that the significant strain rate sensitivity can be observed in the stress-strain curves of BWK composites. The fracture morphologies of BWK composites demonstrate that the tensile failure modes are shear failure and fiber breakage under the quasi-static testing condition while interface failure and fibers pullout are at high strain rates.展开更多

The tubular wall of the prosthesis is divided circumferentially into three zones; basic line (BL), remeshing line ( RL) and guide line ( GL). Some heterogeneity has been observed on the tubular wall in terms of stitch structure of the prosthesis and linear density of the constituent filaments. The breaking position of the prosthesis under circumferential tensile localizes preferentially in remeshing line that is the weakest zone by warp knitting with double needle bed. Furthermore, the statistical differences of the mechanical properties of the filaments of zone RL, GL and BL have been confirmed too. It is predictable that the deterioration of prosthesis, under physiological loads (periodical pulse blood pressure etc.), could happen firstly in the weaker zone in vivo.展开更多
