Research and Markets: Modelling and Predicting Textile Behaviour Provides an Overview Of How Textile Modelling Techniques

DUBLIN-(Business Wire)-September 8, 2009 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c50102/modelling_and_pred) has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new report "Modelling and Predicting Textile Behaviour" to their offering.

The textile industry can experience a vast array of problems. Modelling represents a group of techniques that have been widely used to explore the nature of these problems, it can highlight the mechanisms involved and lead to predictions of the textile behaviour. This book provides an overview of how textile modelling techniques can be used successfully within the textile industry for solving various problems.

The first group of chapters reviews the different types of models and methods available for predicting textile structures and behaviour. Chapters include modelling of yarn, woven and nonwoven materials. The second group of chapters presents a selection of case studies, expressing the strengths and limitations and how various models are applied in specific applications. Case studies such as modelling colour properties for textiles and modelling, simulation and control of textile dyeing are discussed.

With its distinguished editor and international range of contributors, Modelling and predicting textile behaviour will be essential reading material for textile technologists, fibre scientists and textile engineers. However, this book will also be an important information source in an academic setting.
