It presents a micromechanical model employing fibre axial deformation as the elemental deformation mechanism giving rise to assembly stress as a result of applied normal and shearing strain field. This model predicts the elastic constants of an assembly in terms of fibre linear density, fibre elastic modulus, fabric bulk density and the first 15 spherical harmonic coefficients of direction distribution function. A computer simulation has been performed to study the effect of structure on the initial elastic moduli of fibrewebs. This simulation shows that: (a) Young's modulus evaluated for each fabric axis is directly dependent on the fibre orientation distribution density (FODD) along the same axis; (b) shear modulus in any reference plane is maximized when orientation distribution function is isotropic in that plane and it decreases with increasing FODD along the direction normal to that plane; and (c) Poisson's ratio, &ngr;ij, increases as the FODD along the i–axis decreases and the FODD along the j–axis increases, but the effect of FODD along the k–axis is minimal.}, number={1989}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY A-MATHEMATICAL PHYSICAL AND ENGINEERING SCIENCES}, author={Narter, MA and Batra, SK and Buchanan, DR}, year={1999}, month={Sep}, pages={3543–3563} } @inproceedings{buchanan_1997, title={University textile research in the information age}, booktitle={Textiles and the information society : papers presented at the 78th World Conference of the Textile Institute in association with the 5th Textile Symposium of SEVE and SEPVE}, publisher={Manchester, England : Textile Institute}, author={Buchanan, D.}, year={1997} } @inbook{buchanan_1995, title={Manufacturing innovation, automation, and robotics in the textile industries}, ISBN={9781870812689}, booktitle={Automation in the textile industry: from fibers to apparel}, publisher={Manchester, UK : Textile Institute}, author={Buchanan, D.}, year={1995} } @article{barker_gupta_leek_buchanan_little_1992, title={Directional variations in fabric properties and seam qualification}, volume={4}, number={2/3}, journal={International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology}, author={Barker, R. and Gupta, B.

This is an important practical consideration, since garment manufacturing frequently involves the sewing of two fabric plies of completely different and constantly changing bias angles — none of which is along the grain line. Examines the variations in the properties of five woven materials, all lightweight and commonly used in women's summer apparel. The Kawabata Evaluation System (KES) was used to measure the mechanical and surface properties of strips, cut at different angles, from the test materials. To investigate the effect of orientation on seam quality, two plies cut from the same fabric but at different angles were sewn together under selected conditions. The resulting seams were characterized for seam quality using AATCC standards.}, number={2/3}, journal={International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology}, author={Little, T. and Gupta, B.

The purpose of the research reported in this paper is to develop and validate a computer model for predicting fabric-deformation behaviour during automated handling, given experimentally measured fabric properties. A computer program is developed, on the basis of Konopasek's theoretical formulation for solving large-deflexion fabric-bending problems, to simulate the laying of fabric on a table by means of a robot manipulator. Experimental data are collected for actual bending shapes of selected apparel fabrics and compared with theoretical data generated by the numerical solution of the mathematical model. The results demonstrate the ability of the model to predict large deformations of typical apparel fabrics with a part size of up to 10 cm in length.

An American robot was used to move and position the yarn packages during the inspection procedure. The robot controller served as the host computer and directed the sequence of inspection routines. An IRI P256 computer vision system performed the inspection steps for eleven of the most common package flaws. Several hundred packages were inspected with this system and its accuracy was comparable to that of human inspectors. Although over 85% of the inspection cycle was spent in package manipulation, the computer vision portion of the inspection process was as fast as human inspectors. }, number={10}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={EMERY, NB and BUCHANAN, DR}, year={1988}, month={Oct}, pages={605–614} } @article{dennis_buchanan_1987, title={THERMOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF THE STRESS HISTORY IN HEAT SET NYLON-6 CARPET YARNS}, volume={57}, ISSN={["0040-5175"]}, DOI={10.1177/004051758705701102}, abstractNote={ Tension effects during a commercial heat setting process were investigated through the analysis of the thermomechanical behavior of heat set nylon 6 carpet yarns.
