Ballistic impact onto flexible woven textile fabrics is a complicated multi-scale problem given
the structural hierarchy of the materials, anisotropic material behavior, projectile geometry …

This research explores the effects of mesoscale (yarn) material properties on the macroscale
mechanical response of various woven fabric architectures. A unit cell finite element …

A macroscale non-orthogonal constitutive material model for woven fabrics based on a
mesoscale unit cell is developed and implemented in an explicit finite element code. The …

Knitted fabrics are constructed from interlocking loops of yarn. Curvature in the yarn provides
stretchability, making them well suited for garments that will cover areas of the body that …

A macroscopic numerical material model based on the mesoscopic structure of woven
fabrics is developed. A mesoscopic unit cell modeling approach is adopted based on the …

The mechanical response of textiles depends upon various parameters including materials,
yarn structure, and the architecture of the textile. These factors play an important role in the …

Advanced woven fabrics can provide a wide range of mechanical properties since the yarns
can be arranged in different architectural patterns thus allowing the fabric structure to be …

Scalable processes such as electrophoretic deposition and dip coating are used to deposit
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on non-conductive fabrics such as cotton, nylon, wool, and …
