Weaving Engineering

The objective of the course is to introduce the basic concepts of woven fabric manufacturing to the sophomores of Textile Engineering/ Technology. The course material has been designed to create interest among students and hone their analytical ability. After attending this course, the students will be able to understand and analyze the preparatory processes of weaving like winding, warping and sizing. They will also be able to analyze various mechanisms of shuttle looms like shedding, picking, beat-up, take-up and let-off. More emphasis has been given on the fundamental aspects so that the students get the opportunity to think and learn rather than memorize and learn. All the equations have been derived so that students can understand the contexts better and this has been supplemented with some numerical problems at the end of each module. Some mundane descriptive part which requires memorizing has been deliberately avoided. This pithy course material is not a substitute of standard text books. Students are suggested to read text books for the details.
