Abstract:

To improve the efficiency for design double-layer weaves, the generation method of thread interchanging double-layer weaves matrix based on Kronecker product was studied. According to the design rule for thread interchanging double-layer weaves, the matrix of face weave, the matrix of back weaves , the matrix of pattern, and the Kronecker unit were established , and then the weave matrix resulted from double-layer with thread interchanging weaves was fulfilled by the Kronecker product method. The results indicated that Kronecker product can be used to design thread interchanging double layer weaves. Meanwhile, different styles of thread interchanging double-layer weaves matrixes could be automatically generated with different face basic weave matrix, back basic weave matrixes, Kronecker units and pattern matrixes. This method expands design idea and provides an effective tool for thread interchanging double-layer weaves.

Key words: double-layer weaves, Kronecker product, matrix, thread interchanging weaves
