Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of the structural hierarchy in textile materials and the techniques adopted for modelling textiles at different levels. Molecular structures are fundamental in affecting the behaviour in fibres and fibre assemblies and the best known methods in modelling natural polymer fibres, manufactured polymer fibres and inorganic fibres are reviewed. After introducing the modelling of fibre behaviour, methods used in modelling textile assemblies are discussed. Structures of yarns, woven and knitted fabrics are presented and approaches in modelling the geometry and mechanical behaviour are reviewed in some detail.
