Abstract
In general, textiles are perceived as soft materials and structures and textile fibres can be organised into fabrics of different complexities to form new materials and structures. Textiles are widely used in many applications, ranging from clothing to advanced technical applications such as textile composites for the aerospace and other industries. Accurate understanding of the relationships between the construction and technical behaviour of textiles is the key in engineering textile materials for the intended applications. This chapter introduces the modelling techniques for different forms of textile materials and structures and reports on the latest progress in modelling textiles for different applications. © 2011 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.
