The document describes Pierce's geometrical model for modeling fabric structures. It includes a figure of the Pierce model for plain weave fabric and defines the key geometrical parameters of the model such as yarn diameter, thread spacing, weave angle, crimp, and fabric thickness. The model assumes yarns have circular cross-sections and can be used to determine various fabric geometrical properties.

Pierce Geometrical Model:
Geometrical modeling of different fabrics is not attributed to a single individual
or discovery but rather has evolved over time through the contributions of
many textile scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. It is a collective and
ongoing effort to understand, analyze, and optimize fabric structures using
mathematical and computational tool.

Fig-Pierce Geometrical Model for plain weave

Mathematical Notation for pierce model:

Yarn dia: For warp d1 and for weft threads d2


Thread spacing: Distance between the center of
adjacentthreads for warp P1 and for weft P2
Weave angle: maximum angle of the thread axis to the plane
of the cloth. For warp θ1 and for weft θ2
Crimp: For warp C1 and for weft C2
Height of the crimp weave: For warp h1 and for weft h2
Modular length: Length of thread axis between planes
containing the axis of consecutive cross threads. For warp
l1and for weft l2 d1+d2= D, sum of circular diameters
In this model, a two-dimensional unit cell of fabric was built
by superimposing linear and circular yarn segments to
produce the desired shaped.
The yarns were assumed to be circular in cross-section and
highly in-compressible, but perfectly flexible so that each
setof yarns had a uniform curvature imposed by the circular
cross-sectional shape of interlacing yarns.
Geometrical parameters such as thread spacing (p),
weavecrimp, weave angle and fabric thickness (h) can be
found.

Pierce’s Model Results

Pierce’s Model
• In this model, a two-dimensional unit cell of fabric was built by
superimposing linear and circular yarn segments to produce the desired
shaped.
• The yarns were assumed to be circular in cross-section and highly
in-compressible, but perfectly flexible so that each set of yarns had a uniform
curvature imposed by the circular cross-sectional shape of interlacing yarns.

• Geometrical parameters such as thread spacing (p), weave crimp, weave


angle and fabric
thickness (h) can be found.

Pierce’s Model Limitations -


• This model is convenient for calculation and is valid for open structure (loose
density)
• However, the assumptions of circular cross-section, uniform structure along
the longitudinal
direction, perfect flexibility and impressionability are all unrealistic.
