Influence of Reed on Fabric Inequality in Width
Authors: Rukuižienė Žaneta, Milašius Rimvydas
Earlier experimental investigations have demonstrated the particular regularity of inequality in warp projections in the loom-state fabric width, while the projections of wefts were constant throughout the whole width of the fabric. The changes in warp... more »

Physical and Mathematical Modelling
of the Phenomenon of Fur Knitting Compression
Authors: Patyk Barbara, Korliński Władysław
While analysing the dependencies between the compression-ability parameter S (the squeezing parameter) and parameters describing fur knittings, i.e. the initial free thickness g0 of its pile and the area mass G of the knitting, we have... more »
