Abstract:

The paper presents a structural and geometric model of spatial warp-knitted fabrics using an angular solid of square cross-section as an example. An algorithm for designing the geometry of knitted fabric’s spatial architecture with references to two components: the external and internal layer was determined. The structure of stitches of the structural elements of knitted fabric was presented. An algorithm for modelling the structure of spatial knitted fabric and composite was also determined. Computational procedures of the structural and physical parameters of knitted fabrics and composites were described, on the basis of which the program for simulating their properties was constructed.
