Abstract :
This paper considers the impact of fabric properties on the e-textile design process. Specifically, properties such as weave pattern, drape, and weight are evaluated as physical aspects of an e-textile system within an expanded design flow. Results from woven e-textile samples are reported and analyzed, with a more detailed analysis on sensors as fibers in simple and more complex double weave patterns.
