A textile engineer works with designers to determine how designs can be applied to a fabric while considering practical variables such as durability, washability, and colorfastness. A person in this position will have a background in textile science that may include chemistry and manufacturing, in addition to textile analysis. 2, record 1, English, - textile%20engineer

Finite element methods are being used for property characterization and particularly for mechanical property analysis. Different elements are used for the soil(which is quite well documented) and for the fabric(which is not well documented). Results are particularly important in indicating the amount of deformation that the fabric will undergo and also information about anchoring, thereby giving an estimate of the required friction between the fabric and the soil. 1, record 2, English, - property%20characterization

La caractérisation d'un matériau conduit essentiellement à la détermination des constantes indépendantes nécessaires aux calculs de dimensionnement des pièces élaborées avec ce matériau. La caractérisation permet d'évaluer les grandeurs à rupture du matériau dans le temps en fonction de la température, en fatigue ou éventuellement en présence d'agents agressifs. De même, la caractérisation doit permettre d'accéder aux valeurs des constantes thermiques [...] et physiques. 1, record 2, French, - caract%C3%A9risation

Calhoun performed clogging tests to determine the degree of fabric clogging that might be experienced by fabric in contact with a gap-graded soil. The clogging test employed a permeameter device... Hydraulic gradient data from the soil-fabric permeameters were analyzed to determine the clogging potential of a fabric. The analysis made use of a ratio of the hydraulic gradient across the fabric plus an adjacent 1 in. of soil to the hydraulic gradient for the entire system, that is, the "clogging ratio. "A clogging ratio greater than 1 signifies fabric clogging. 1, record 3, English, - clogging%20test
