Simulation of the behaviour of a 3D link of a knitted fabric made of Ni-Ti to the mechanical loading

Abstract eng:
The models of knitted fabrics are geometrically complicated systems. The simulations of the knitted fabrics models have to include nonlinearities in a form of the geometry, contact and in some case in a form of the material. These nonlinearities increase the computational time. One of the simplifications is the geometrical simplification. The model of the knitted fabric can be transfer from 3D to 2D model. That removes the contact. How large influence has this simplification, we can determine with a model of one link. The creation of this model and the results of the simulation for the link are described thereinafter.
