Modeling of heat transfer for interlock knitted fabric using finite element method

Abstract

415-419This study focuses on the applicability of finite element method (FEM) to analyze the heat transfer behavior of plain interlock weft knitted fabrics. An interlock weft knitted fabric model is developed and analyzed using FEM software. A comparison of the experimental measurements with the numerical solutions shows that the FEM model developed for the heat transfer measurement including interlock knitted fabric produces promising results. </span
