3D Modeling of Plain Weft Knitted Structures of Compressible Yarn
Abstract
In this paper two methods for 3Dimensional modeling of the plain weft knitted structures are presented. The aim is models to be more realistic concerning yarn cross section properties. The first model is based on the assumption that yarn cross section changes to ellipse-like form in the areas with high curvature. The second one is a discrete particle model of the loops, which takes into account the local changes of the yarn following from the contact forces. It calculates actual yarn geometry on the contact places iteratively, as general nonlinear compression behavior of the yarn is assumed.
