Directionality-Aware Design of Embroidery Patterns

Embroidery is a long-standing and high-quality approach to making logos and images on textiles. Nowadays, it can also be performed via automated machines that weave threads with high spatial accuracy. A characteristic feature of the appearance of the threa ...

3D Weaving with Curved Ribbons

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Tian Chen, Yingying Ren, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux, Christopher Brandt

Basket weaving is a traditional craft for creating curved surfaces as an interwoven array of thin, flexible, and initially straight ribbons. The three-dimensional shape of a woven structure emerges through a complex interplay of the elastic bending behavio ...

Signalement des livres électroniques à l’Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)

Thomas Guignard

La Bibliothèque de l'EPFL réfléchit à la problématique du signalement des livres électroniques depuis 2005, lorsqu'un catalogue ad-hoc est créé pour pallier aux difficultés d'insérer ces ouvrages dans le catalogue collectif NEBIS. Cette solution permet de cataloguer facilement les e-books, mais impose à l'utilisateur d'interroger plusieurs catalogues. Une solution avec un champ de recherche unique est donc préférable. Les outils de type "ressource discovery tools" pourraient permettre la mise en place d'une telle recherche unifiée. Cette présentation revient sur l'expérience de la bibliothèque de l'EPFL dans sa recherche d'une telle solution.

Structure-aware Synthesis for Predictive Woven Fabric Appearance

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Shuang Zhao

Woven fabrics have a wide range of appearance determined by their small-scale 3D structure. Accurately modeling this structural detail can produce highly realistic renderings of fabrics and is critical for predictive rendering of fabric appearance. But bui ...

Humidity and Temperature Sensors on Plastic Foil for Textile Integration

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Caglar Ataman, Jérôme Courbat, Francisco Molina Lopez, Andres Felipe Vasquez Quintero

Low-power humidity and temperature sensors fabricated on Kapton (R) polyimide sheets are successfully woven into textile using a conventional weaving machine. During machine weaving electronic devices undergo mechanical deformation, mostly due to bending, ...

Methodology for evaluating new high volume composite manufacturing technologies

Simon Jespersen

Composite materials are increasingly used in high volume automotive applications, usually as a replacement for assemblies of multiple metallic parts such as stamped and spot-welded steel sheets. One of the motivations is to reduce tooling and assembly cost ...

Towards Textile-Based Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Nanocomposites: Melt Spun Polypropylene-Montmorillonite Nanocomposite Fibers

John Christopher Plummer, Martyn Douglas Wakeman, Chrystèle Houphouet-Boigny Favre

The present work is aimed at assessing the feasibility of integrating thermoplastic polypropylene nanocomposite matrices into conventional fiber-reinforced composites based on hybrid textiles that incorporate both the matrix and glass-fiber yarns, in order ...

Warp-knit laminates for stampable sandwich preforms

Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Thermoforming of doubly-curved sandwich components will oer new design possibilities and cost-eective manufacturing routes. However, the occurrence of folds and wrinkles in face sheets is directly linked to the fabric architecture and constitutes a proce ...
