Learning outcomes
Within the subject, those issues are dealt with: fabric formation, thread displacements and deformations in the binding element; kinematic excitation of forces in the threads by means of movements of mechanism working links forming the fabric; forces in the warp and weft effectively used for fabric forming, control of those forces on the weaving machine; elimination of undesirable forces with compensators and controllers (regulators); beating-up process modeling; forming and using the beat-up discrete models; weft insertion (picking) systems, equations of motion, weft speed and forces determination; composition of the units of weaving machine in response to the variability of weaving process.
Deepening the knowledge in the field of weaving, namely: fabric formation, displacements and deformations of threads in the binding element; forces in the warp and weft effectively used for the fabric formation; weft insertion (picking) systems and their equations of motion; determining the speed of weft carrier and weft, determining the forces in the weft ; composition of weaving machine units in response to the changes of weaving process; weaving machine automation.
