Sewing machine needle, stitch formation dynamics, mechanical and dynamic stress of sewing machine needles 9. Unconventional methods of joining - overview of methods: gluing, welding, riveting, ultrasonic, high frequency.... 10. Forming process in clothing production and temperature influence on the mechanical properties of textile materials, thermal properties of the fibers, the physical principle of heat for fiber, polymer behavior with increasing temperature, transition states, mechanical stress and permanent deformations. 11. The effect of humidity on the mechanical properties of textile materials during ironing. The mechanism of sorption of moisture, change properties, changes proportions of textile materials, machines, ironing and shaping. 12. Heat transfer during forming. The basic definition of heat, temperature, heat flow, types of heat transfer - conduction, convection and radiation heat. Transfers of heat by conduction, convection and radiation - basic calculations of heat transfer. 13. Basic principles taped clothing materials, gumming machines. 14. Logistics and transport systems. Practice Exercise by its content follows the lecture - practicing material explained during the lecture.
