Influence of stitch length and structure on selected mechanical properties of single jersey knitted fabrics with varying cotton percentage in the yarn
Knitting is a process of manufacturing a fabric by the intermeshing of loops of yarn. Knitted fabric possesses high stretch and recovery, providing greater freedom of movement and outstanding comfort qualities for which they have been preferred as fabrics in many kinds of clothing for a long time. In clothing design and manufacturing, fabric characteristics are usually dictated by a specified end-use.1,2
Characterizing Fabric End-Use by Fabric Physical Properties
This paper introduces a statistical approach to predicting fabric end-use based on Kawabata kes-fb data determining fabric physical properties. The classification theory zbasis of discriminant analysis is discussed, and a way to establish classification criteria to characterize fabrics for clothing uses is demonstrated. The mathematical prediction model is described by a quadratic discriminant function that successfully classifies fabrics appropriate for suiting, blouses, and shirts.
Trouble-shooting dual arch impressions.
Dual arch impression techniques enable the dentist to capture an impression of the prepared tooth, the opposing teeth and the occlusal registration in one procedure. This saves chair time and impression material.
