Towards automated testing of fabrics
Prasad Potluri, Isaac Porat, John AtkinsonFabric testing has progressed from subjective hand evaluation to very sophisticated instrumental techniques. Examines past developments and suggests some future directions in this…
A Study of Factors Affecting Fabric Cover‐shelter Properties
Peter TotterdillTraditional Tayloristic approaches to the organization of production rely on: the existence of mass markets for standardized garments in which firms can successfully compete; and…
Importance of mechanical and physical properties of fabrics in the clothing manufacturing process
Roshan L. ShishooDeals with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the tailorability of lightweight wool fabrics, as well as studies related to the interaction between the ease of…
FAST – Fabric Assurance by Simple Testing
Pier Giorgio MinazioDescribes the FAST system, developed by CSIRO for quality control and assurance of fabrics. FAST, or Fabric Assurance by Simple Testing, consists of a series of instruments and…
A neuro‐fuzzy control system for intelligent overlock sewing machines
George Stylios, J.O. SotomiA neuro‐fuzzy control model has been devised for the next generation of so‐called “intelligent sewing machines”. The model incorporates discrimination of material characteristics…
Garment sewing processing parameters: determination using numerical methods and computers
Dubravko RogalePresents the possibility of determining increased numbers of processing parameters for garment sewing using numerical methods and computers. The determination of new parameters…
Use of mathematical programming for workplace design in sewing rooms
Karl GotlihShows an approach to workplace design, employing a well‐known prescribed technological operation. Using a non‐linear optimization method, searches for the minimal value of the…
Rheological properties of threads: their influence on dynamic loads in the sewing process
Jelka GersakPresents the influence of rheological properties of a sewing thread on its dynamical loads in a stitch formation process, or on change of thread strength as a consequence of…
Computer‐aided processes in garment production: features of CAD/CAM hardware
Zoran StjepanovicFollows a presentation at a symposium in 1993 where the authors presented an experimental investigation on a fluttering membrane for use in a wind‐tunnel. Analyses the fluttering…
Workplace design and loadings in the process of sewing garments
Zdenka Bezjak, Blaz KnezPresents some factors that influence the design of workplace and worker loading in the process of sewing garments. Researches both existent and suggested work methods in workplace…
Objective evaluation of a stabilized garment parts handle
Jelka Gersak, Andreja SaricPresents the objective evaluation of a stabilized garment parts handle, based on determination of mechanical and physical properties of fabrics using the Kawabata Evaluation…
Influence of some parameters on stitching velocity of sewing
Darja Zunic LojenPresents the influence of seam length, normal stitching velocity of a sewing machine and a working method on stitching velocity of sewing. Results show that better stitching…
