The purpose of the book is to examine the role of communication through computational textiles used to create architecture made of lightweight textiles. Computational textiles are textiles that can sense and respond to the environment with embedded electronics and sensors. The term computational textile is not my term but one that has been in use for textiles others call e-textiles, electronic textiles, or smart textiles. These textile systems sense their environment via digital electronic programming through microcontrollers and sensors or are programmed using the quality of the material itself in connection with environmental cues such as humidity, temperature and light. Textiles operate as a mode of understanding the world and they bind us humans together as a species. Textiles are used in every culture on the planet, although we may use and make this material in different ways. In architecture, textiles made of animal skins or plant fibers were probably used to make the first shelters, as both protective clothing and enclosing space. As a liminal space between the body and environment these textiles became places of exchange and communication of information between people and their communities through shelter and clothing. With the United States currently putting money into research on smart textiles and intelligent materials, there is a quiet revolution happening in the very textiles that can make up soft structures. These sensing textiles have a primary role communicating to us as occupants and as observers. Sensing textiles permit connection to an internet of things, and the overlay of other spaces, times and events onto a physical space. If we look back to Gottfried Semper's correlation of clothing with architecture in his treatise titled Style: The Textile Art (Semper 1989:104) then today's wearable technology made with computational textiles provides a way to understand the emergence of a new style of architecture. This transforming sensory information communicates something to people. It shapes the environment as well as our relations to textiles (as we know them) in ways that call for examination.

Soft computing refers to a collection of computational techniques which study, model and analyse complex phenomena. As many textile engineering problems are inherently complex in nature, soft computing techniques have often provided optimum solutions to these cases. Although soft computing has several facets, it mainly revolves around three techniques; artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms. The book is divided into five parts, covering the entire process of textile production, from fibre manufacture to garment engineering. These include soft computing techniques in yarn manufacture and modelling, fabric and garment manufacture, textile properties and applications and textile quality evaluation. Covers the entire process of textile production, from fibre manufacture to garment engineering including artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms Examines soft computing techniques in yarn manufacture and modelling, fabric and garment manufacture Specifically reviews soft computing in relation to textile properties and applications featuring garment modelling and sewing machines

Advances in Modeling and Simulation in Textile Engineering: New Concepts, Methods, and Applications explains the advanced principles and techniques that can be used to solve textile engineering problems using numerical modeling and simulation. The book draws on innovative research and industry practice to explain methods for the modeling of all of these processes, helping readers apply computational power to more areas of textile engineering. Experimental results are presented and linked closely to processes and methods of implementation. Diverse concepts such as heat transfer, fluid dynamics, three-dimensional motion, and multi-phase flow are addressed. Finally, tools, theoretical principles, and numerical models are extensively covered. Textile engineering involves complex processes which are not easily expressed numerically or simulated, such as fiber motion simulation, yarn to fiber formation, melt spinning technology, optimization of yarn production, textile machinery design and optimization, and modeling of textile/fabric reinforcements. Provides new approaches and techniques to simulate a wide range of textile processes from geometry to manufacturing Includes coverage of detailed mathematical methods for textiles, including neural networks, genetic algorithms, and the finite element method Addresses modeling techniques for many different phenomena, including heat transfer, fluid dynamics and multi-phase flow
