| Abstract | ||
| Recently, fashion design demanded more comfort and functionality. Addition of nanoparticles into fabrics can be one new method of enhancing comfort with vibration dampening. This paper investigates the influence of the addition of nanoparticles on the vibrational properties of textiles that can be used in fashion. The vibration properties of the nanoparticle-enhanced fabrics are mathematically modeled. Shaking and magnetic stirring with ultrasonic treatments are considered in combination with mechanical mixing before the production of fabric samples in order to overcome the problem of nanoparticle dispersion. Sinusoidal shear deformation theory is used for the structural modeling, whereas the Mori-Tanaka model is used to estimate the effective properties of the nanoparticle-reinforced fabrics with consideration of the agglomeration effect. Energy methods enable the derivation of the motion equations for the calculation of the vibration frequencies of the fabric. This study investigates the effects of nanoparticle volume percentage, their agglomeration, and fabric structure on the characteristics related to vibration damping and comfort. It follows that increased nanoparticle content improves vibration damping, thereby opening possibilities for comfortable and durable garment designs. | ||
