About
The Faculty of Textile Engineering of Technical University of Liberec was established in the year 1960. The technologies and their innovation, new concepts of modelling of fibrous assemblies and new methods for textile structure evaluation is essential part of its research activities.
The Summer School offers a small tasting of textile design, production, modeling, and analysis. The main topic concentrates on linear textile structures, which are a part of 2D and 3D hierarchical textiles. Understanding the laws, limitations, and context among the linear textile structures and their other properties allows the modeling and innovation of linear products and a better understanding of flat or three-dimensional fabrics produced, e.g. by weaving or knitting for various kinds of applications.
Outcomes:
* Getting acquainted with basic principles of spinning including the terms used for linear textile description.
* Creation of staple yarn for standard use.
* Design and production of linear textile for specific application.
* Modelling of selected linear textile parameters based known theories.
* Verification of selected properties of own prepared linear structures in laboratory.
* Practical experience with evaluation of selected qualitative characteristics from its cross-sections and longitudinal views via Image Analysis NIS Elements.
