Abstract

Owing to various end-uses and good performance/cost ratio, the multifunctional textile materials have been significantly developed within a decade. Such materials are mostly dedicated to niche or limited markets and used for producing high-valued products. Facing the international competition, designers are strongly involved in the development of new advanced materials in order to satisfy complex customer requirements and specifications with a reduced design cycle. In practices, these design requirements are numerous and contradictory, corresponding to a multi-criteria optimization problem. In this paper, we propose an original optimization method for the design of multifunctional textile materials. Using intelligent techniques, this method permits to determine a relevant operation setting space, helping designers to quickly realize a set of representative prototypes. These prototypes can lead to a quick convergence to the predefined quality specifications with a small number of trails and low cost. The effectiveness of proposed method has been illustrated and validated through a case study.
