Application of Numerical Methods in the Textile and Clothing Technology

Abstract

The paper deals with the application of numerical methods in the field of textile and clothing technology. In view of the complexity of solving the problems of fabric and garment drapery, numerical methods have found application in the field of textile and clothing technology. Fabrics exposed to the action of low stresses behave complexly due to their properties of inhomogeneity, discontinuity, anisotropy and deformability, so it is difficult to describe these states mathematically. Approximating by numerical methods makes it possible to predict their behavior. Thus, the paper describes the previous applications of numerical methods and the application results in the field of textiles and clothing. Basic postulates of numerical methods from the mathematical point of view are presented as well as their adapting to the application and solution of problems in the field of textiles and clothing.
