Introduction
The objectives of cloth geometry (math models for fabric) is to:
1. 2. 3. 4.
Prediction of the maximum sett (density) of fabric and fabric dimensions; Find out relationship between geometrical parameters (picks and ends); Prediction of mechanical properties by combining fabric and yarn properties; Understanding fabric performance (handle and surface effect).
In conventional approaches, the general character of fabrics was idealized into simple geometrical forms (circle, ellipse, rectangle) They treated the micro-mechanics of fabrics on the basis of the unitcell approach, ie fabrics are considered as a repeating network of identical unit cells in the form of crimp weaves and constant yarn cross-section in the woven structure. By combining this kind of geometry with or without physical parameters (material), mathematical deductions could be obtained.

yarns were assumed to be circular in cross-section and highly incompressible, but perfectly flexible so that each set of yarns had a uniform curvature imposed by the circular cross-sectional shape of interlacing yarns.
Geometrical parameters such as thread spacing (p), weave crimp, weave angle and fabric thickness (h) can be found.
Pick spacing (p1) and end spacing (p2), warp thickness (h1), weft thickness (h2) can be found from this model
yarns were assumed to be circular in cross-section and highly incompressible, but perfectly flexible so that each set of yarns had a uniform curvature imposed by the circular cross-sectional shape of interlacing yarns. Geometrical parameters such as thread spacing (p), weave crimp, weave angle and fabric thickness (h) can be found.
Because such model would be too complex and laborious in operation, he adopted an approximate treatment, which involved merely replacing the circular thread diameter in his circular-thread geometry with minor diameter as shown in Fig 3.2
This modified model is good for reasonable open fabric but cannot be applied for very closed jammed fabric.
overcome the jammed structure, Kemp proposed a racetrack section to modified cross-section shape. The model consisted of a rectangle enclosed by two semi-circular ends and had the advantage that it allowed the relatively simple relations of circular-thread geometry, already worked out by Pierce, to be applied to a flatted threads.
Hearles Model
Using energy method for calculations in fabric mechanics, a lenticular geometry was proposed by Hearle as shown in Fig 3.5
2. 3.
Firstly, fabrics are complicated materials that do not conform even approximately to any of the ideal features suggested by these four fabric models. Secondly, the measurement of geometrical parameters is not easy in practice. Thirdly, the relationship between fabric mechanic (tensile, elongation, bending) to fabric geometry is not fully explored.
Conclusion:
Although the world market of Textile products continuously grows, it faces the structural readjustment followed by the change of global economic condition, raw material capacity and consumers needs and behavior. In addition, new expansionary manufacturers are emerging while the existing Textile producers are concerned by present consumers. This research focuses on the prediction of the future global Textile production by analyzing information about the Cloth Geometry.
