Mathematical modeling to predict the geometrical properties of float stitches in single jersey knitted fabrics

الملخص EN

This paper presents a novel mathematical model of float stitches in single Jersey knitted fabrics.

The mathematical model has been used to deduce the fabric geometrical relationships that can be useful for predicting the properties of the fabric.

Using AutoLISP and AutoCAD software, a program has been designed to simulate the surface appearance of knitted fabrics.

The program inputs and outputs are also displayed with each type of float stitches.

The proposed program and mathematical model demonstrated their effectiveness in using a wide range of yarn count, number of wales and courses, and predicting the different geometrical properties.
