objective hand measurement of nonwoven Fabrics part i development of the equations
Textile Research Journal, 1994Co-Authors: Sueo Kawabata, Masako Niwa, Fumei WangAbstract:Fabric hand evaluation, previously applied to men's suiting, is used here to assess the touch or feel of nonwoven Fabrics. In this method, Fabric Mechanical Property parameters are converted by a first conversion equation (equation type I ) to numbers (the hand value or Hv) that express three primary hand values (the Hv) such as stiffness, etc., which are the primary factors characterizing Fabric hand. Subsequently, these hand values are converted into a total Fabric quality number (the total hand value or THV) by a second conversion equation (equation type II), which should then correlate well with subjective hand. The three primary hand attributes defined pre viously for men's suiting are also assumed to apply to nonwoven Fabrics to characterize their hand. Primary hand values for nonwovens were obtained using the same equation as the men's suiting equation with minor modifications. Subsequently, two evaluations were performed—direct application of the men's suiting equation (type II ) to the nonwoven f...

objective measurement of Fabric Mechanical Property and quality its application to textile and clothing manufacturing
International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology, 1991Co-Authors: S Kawabata, Masako NiwaAbstract:Textiles as clothing material must fit the human body and senses. This fitting is an important performance of the textiles besides the utility performance of textiles such as Fabric strength. For many years, the performance concerning this fitness has been evaluated subjectively by hand judgement. The Fabric Property judged in such a way is called Fabric handle. Instead of the subjective method, the objective evaluation system of Fabric handle has been developed. The system is introduced firstly. In this objective method, the handle is evaluated based on the Fabric Mechanical and surface properties measured by the KESF instrument. The Mechanical parameters of Fabric measured by the instrument are useful not only for the Fabric handle evaluation but also for textile and apparel engineering through the direct use of the parameters. The applications of the objective measurement of Fabric handle and properties to textile and apparel engineering are introduced.

influence of Fabric Mechanical Property on clothing dynamic pressure distribution and pressure comfort on tight fit sportswear
Sen-i Gakkaishi, 2004Co-Authors: Anthony S W Wong, Yi Li, Xin ZhangAbstract:Clothing pressure distribution in tight-fit sportswear was simulated by using numerical computational method. Three sets of tight-fit sportswears were simulated on the basis of their Mechanical properties. In addition, a 3D human body was also simulated in order to investigate its interaction with sportswear in the wearing process. Result shows that pressure increases significantly around the waist girth until it passes through body pelvis during the wearing process. Meanwhile, pressure begins to increase for other tested body locations. Based on body contour plot, we found that pressure distribution was not uniformly distributed and high-pressure zone was concentrated around the waist girth at the end of the wearing process. The simulated pressure has no significant difference (p > 0.05) with the experimental pressure measurements. Furthermore, subjective pressure comfort rating was linearly correlated with the simulation, suggesting the simulation method can provide reliable prediction in term of pressure comfort. From the tight-fit sportswear manufacturer's point of view, simulation result would help them to satisfy consumers' physiological and psychological needs in term of pressure comfort at a lower cost.
