Knitted fabrics are hierarchically structured materials exhibiting a complex set of structure-property-behavior relations driven by yarn-level interactions. Compared to other materials such as ...
Knitted fabrics obey extremely complicated physics, arising from both the properties of the constituent yarn and the fibres’ interactions. Physicists have now demonstrated how knitted fabric can ...
Fashion (or lack thereof) aside, sweaters and other knitted fabric are also fascinating to physicists and mathematicians. Case in point: a recent paper published in the journal Physical Review ...
