Fabric softness is a complex tactile sensation perceived by the user even before the fabrics are worn. Softness is usually the property of surface perceived by touching or pressing a finger on the fabric surface. Fabric friction properties significantly affect the tactile sensation of the garments. The yarn used, the finishing works, and the fabric structure (weaving, knitting, etc.) affect the softness. In addition, the hardness of the water used during washing, washing movements, the amount and content of the detergent and softener used also have permanent effects on the fabric softness. Softness can be evaluated by the jury members with proven effectiveness according to the predetermined scale. Our achievement within the scope of the thesis is to eliminate the differences that may occur as a result of the subjective evaluation, which may arise from qualitative observations by basing the degree of softness evaluated qualitatively on numerical data and to obtain clearer and more precise results by adding quantitative features to the evaluation process. The methodology developed for softness assessment is also applied for another textile deterioration parameter, namely pilling, and its results are also reported.

Thermoviscoelasticity of fibre reinforced rubbery polymers
Dal, Hüsnü; Hickmann, Rico; Cherif, Chokri; Jurk, Rene; Heinrich, Gert (2010-03-26)
Fibre or textile reinforcement is commonly used in order to enhance the directional mechanical and thermal properties of rubbery polymers. For the quantitative analysis and design of fibre reinforced elastomeric materials, precise description of the composite behaviour plays a crucial role. To this end, a coupled thermomechanical formulation at finite strains is presented. The anisotropic thermal and mechanical properties are homogenized analytically throughout the constitutive description. For the descript...

Possible predictors of self care among adolescents
Güneş, Seren; Kazak Berument, Sibel (2015-09-08)
Self-care is an umbrella term for all hygiene related behaviors. Self-care is considered as one of the single strong predictors of disease prevention. The current study aimed to investigate predictive roles of age, gender, youth’s effortful control, maternal conscientiousness, maternal behaviors, maternal expectations, as well as perceived parenting on self-care of adolescents. Data from 271 mother-adolescent dyads (MAD) were examined. Adolescents reported their effortful control, perceived parenting, as we...

Türkiye’deki bir üniversitede eğitim fakültesindeki öğrencilerin ders içerikleri hakkındaki algıları ile derse katılımı, başarısı, hazırbulunuşluğu ve bölümleri, ex-post-facto araştırma metodu yardımıyla araştırılmıştır. Şu sorulara cevap aranmıştır: (1) Bilgisayar okuryazarlığında öğrencilerin en çok ve en az ilgisini çeken konular nelerdir, (2) öğrencinin bölümü bu kararı etkilemekte midir ve (3) hazırbulunuşluk ve öğrencinin bölümü, öğrencinin başarısı ve derse katılımını nasıl etkiler? Birinci sınıfta o...
Deep Learning-Based Fiber Bending Recognition for Sensor Applications
Bender, Deniz; Cakir, Ugur; Yüce, Emre (2023-01-01)
The sensitivity of multimode fibers (MMFs) to mechanical deformations has led to their widespread use in various fields, such as structural monitoring and healthcare. However, traditional optical fiber sensing techniques often involve complex equipment and analysis procedures. In this work, we demonstrate the use of Deep Learning (DL) to accurately detect both the curvature and location of a bent MMF under external force. The DL model is trained using intensity-only speckle images as input, which correspond...
