Synopsis

With an increase in textile manufacturers relocating to developing countries with cheaper overheads the manufacturers that remain need to diversify and add value to their products to be competitive. These value added products are designed from traditional methods not specific to their new technical applications. This is causing problems in the market place. Engineering textiles: Integrating the design and manufacture of textile products looks at design concepts from traditional to technical textiles and discuss engineering approaches to the process of manufacturing these products.

Key Features: reviews aspects of product development and design conceptualisation for both technical and traditional textiles; analyses material selection including structure and characteristics of various fibres; examines the development of fibrous products for transportation, medical and protection applications.

Contents: Part 1 Concepts of fabric engineering, product development and design: Introduction: Textile fiber-to-fabric engineering; Textile engineering principles and concepts; Textile product development: Basic concepts and critical factors; Textile product design; Textile product design conceptualization: basic elements and tools; Textile product design analysis and modeling. Part 2 Material selection: Material selection for textile product design; Structure, characteristics and types of fiber for textile product design; Structure and types of yarns for textile product design; Types of fabric for textile product design; Finishing processes for fibrous assemblies in textile product design. Part 3 Development and applications of fibrous products: Development of traditional textile fiber products; Development of technical textile products: materials and applications; Development of textile fiber products for transportation applications; Development of textile fibre products for medical and protection applications.
