Bending behaviour of fabrics is a complex phenomena involving interaction of many structural and process variables. Over the years, many theoretical and empirical prediction models on bending have been developed, but with limited success. This book explores the application of soft computing methodologies in predicting the bending property of woven fabrics. In this work, the application of soft computation methodologies like neural networks, genetic algorithms and neuro-fuzzy systems has been explored in detail to find potential solution to this problem. Various independent and dependent...
