Subject content
Needle forces in loop formation. Needle loads in the knitting process. Relationship between the force of thread feeding to the knitting needle and the force of fabric takedown. Measurement of tensile and pressure forces of the latch needle in loop formation. Yarn feeding mechanisms. Yarn tension in knitting. Knited fabric geometry. Main charakteristics of the knit structure and methods of their calculation. Forces in knitting zone in relative knitting technique. Simulation of the knitting process at the computer.
Aim of course
Students familiarize themselves with various parameters in the production of knitted fabrics. After passing the exam the student is expected to construct a new product using different scientific methods. The new product should be acceptable on the market.
