Abstract:Three-dimensional mesh fabrics of one-piece spacer structure are an essential component of automotive seat ventilation systems due to their excellent cushion and ventilation performance. The mesh structure is manufactured by stretching across the width of as-knitted structure with closed surfaces in a coupled thermo-mechanical stentering and heat-setting process. This paper presents a numerical study to examine the effect of stentering on the mesh structure and yarn architecture of a typical three-dimensional … Show more
