Principles of Fabric Formation

Textile fabrics of various structures are being increasingly used by engineers of different disciplines. This junior/senior undergraduate-level textbook focuses on the diverse technical principles involved at each stage of the formation of different types of fabrics. The book covers topics such as winding, warping, sizing, woven fabric construction, weaving, weft knitting, warp knitting, braiding, nonwovens, triaxial, multiaxial, and 3-D fabrics. A solutions manual is also available upon qualifying course adoption.

How Are Textile Fabrics Formed?

Principles of Fabric Formation is a treatise on the modern production systems of woven, knitted, braided, nonwoven, triaxial, multiaxial, and 3D fabrics. This book offers a basic understanding of the technicalities involved in the formation of different types of textile fabrics, and brings out the relative merits and limitations of each production process in one single volume.
