Modelling structure–property relationships in advanced textile materials
S. Grishanov, University of Leeds, UK
Abstract:
This chapter provides an overview of various methods used for modelling the geometry, structure, and properties of a wide range of textile materials. Methods of experimental design and data analysis leading to regression models are briefly discussed. Models of internal geometry and structural models based on knot theory are described. Models of mechanical and physical properties are considered next, highlighting the link between structure and properties. Examples of continuous and discrete models of textile processes are presented. This chapter concludes with discussion of linear and non-linear optimization methods in application to the performance characteristics of materials and processes.

1.1 Introduction to textile modelling
New applications of textile fibrous assemblies for automotive, aerospace, construction, agriculture, geo-engineering, maritime industries, medical, smart and sensory materials, protective clothing, wearable electronics, pervasive computing, and other areas require an engineering approach towards the design of materials for specified end-use and performance characteristics. The performance characteristics of textiles depend on two major factors, which are the properties of the constituting elements and their structural arrangement. The relationship between these two sets of factors must be known, preferably in a mathematical form, before the engineering methods of predictive modelling and optimization of textile structures can be effectively implemented.
The latest developments in computer technology and textile machinery have made it desirable to apply mathematical methods to the computer-aided design and predictive modelling of textiles. Modelling can be considered as a research and engineering design method aimed at time reduction, increase in quality, and cost reduction in the development of products and processes by generating a comprehensive understanding of the relationships and factors that affect their performance characteristics. Modelling enables the products and processes to be designed, simulated, tested, and optimized without physical production of prototypes. The application of modelling, which started in the aerospace industry, now finds its way into other branches of industry, including textiles. Market analysis of the reasons for the wide-spread use of modelling methods by the Aberdeen Group (ANSYSa, ANSYSb) has shown that the early application of these methods helps in preventing very costly mistakes which are difficult to correct at the later stages of product ...
