Investigation into Tensional Distribution of Vertical Drape on Voil Net Fabrics Using Finite Element Method

The role played by the industrial warp knitted fabrics has become very important in recent years in industry، agriculture، medicine، etc. This matter is due to the superior properties of these kinds of fabrics، including their low weight، suitable elasticity، constant dimension، high durability، resistance to corrosion and degradation and their low costs. In the analysis of mechanical behavior of textile problems because of complexity of the fibrous products in terms of geometrical and mechanical properties a numerical techniques are used. In the present research، one of the most important mechanical properties of net warp knitted fabrics has been considered. FEM (finite element method) is used for modeling of tensional distribution of vertical drape in this field of fabrics.
