 | Design of New Weave Patterns Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Physical Sciences; Chemical Engineering; Industrial Engineering & Manufacturing; Materials Science; Materials Science; Textile Manufacturing; Industrial Textiles; Industrial Textiles; Polymer Science; This book presents a systematic study on methods used for the creation of weave patterns for simple structures. Firstly, it explains known techniques for designing new weave patterns classified as patterns merge, motifs, patterns insertion and change of the displacement number. These are discussed as possibilities to create different textures and weaving effects supported by figures of patterns, colour view, and fabric appearance simulation. Secondly, it explains original methods for design of new weave patterns based on Boolean operations, musical scores, written texts and braille alphabet, including transformations performed, advantages/disadvantages, possible applications and designs. Radostina A. Angelova is an associated professor at the Department of Textiles, Technical University of Sofia (TU-Sofia). She is also an associated researcher at the Centre for Research and Design in Human Comfort, Energy and Environment at TU-Sofia. She is a lecturer in spinning technologies and machines, weaving technologies and machines, and design of yarns and fabrics. Angelova holds an MSc degree in textiles and clothing (1994), a PhD in technology of textile materials (2001), and a DSc in technology of textile materials (2015). She authored more than 100 papers, 4 textbooks, and 1 book. |
