Abstract 3D spacer fabrics are a type of sandwich structure consisting of two separate
multifilament fabric outer layers linked together with a layer of spacer monofilaments. They …

Abstract 3D finite element (FE) analysis was conducted to investigate the mechanical
behaviour of a typical 3D spacer fabric structure under compression in terms of its structural …

Multiscale modelling of 3D multi-axial knitted 3D spacer composites is proposed. The
developed modeling approach is based on a full-field finite element homogenization and …

Pressure sensors based on three-dimensional fabrics have all the excellent properties of the
textile substrate: excellent compressibility, good air permeability and moisture transmission …

This paper presents an experimental study of the compression behavior of a typical warp-
knitted spacer fabric which is specially developed as a cushioning material for human body …

Structural parameters of fabrics influence the mechanical behaviour of fabric-reinforced
composites. Weft-knitted spacer fabrics have high energy absorption capacity. In this paper …

The plate compression property of warp-knitted spacer fabrics greatly determines their
industrial application in cushions and mattresses, which can be regulated by the structure …

This paper presents a theoretical study of the compressive mechanics of warp-knitted spacer
fabrics. The first part, as presented in the current paper, focuses on the establishment of a …

Three-dimensional mesh fabric is a special type of knitted spacer fabric with sandwich
structure consisting of two separate meshed multifilament outer layers linked together with a …

Spacer fabrics are widely used as mattress materials of bed and wheelchair. It is due to the
fact that the special sandwich structure is effective in evenly dispersing pressure to improve …
