Abstract
This is the first of a three-part series describing an attempt to develop a comprehensive computational framework for aiding the engineering design of woven industrial fabrics. The work has two major aims. The first is to develop a generalized knowledge-based CAD system for use in fabric design. A detailed analytic phase will then follow, which will comprise a set of computational models for the simulation of fabric behavior under external stimuli which will be used for the predictive estimation of some important properties. Accordingly, the second focus of this work is to develop an analysis of the uniaxial/biaxial load-deformation behavior of a plain woven fabric. Part I provides the rationale for choosing this domain of industrial fabric design, and discusses the characteristics and the limitations of current design procedures. It examines the requirements for a computer-based system intended to provide decision-making support for a generic design task. There is a short review of such CAD systems withi...
