• 3D and multiscale computational modeling frameworks emerged as the dominant paradigm for woven fabrics and composites, integrating 3D geometry, unit-cell representations and finite element analyses to predict in-plane/out-of-plane behavior under complex loading [1], [2], [4], [12], [10], [18].

• Image-based methods and signal-processing techniques enable recognition, measurement and visualization of fabric structures, from texture analysis to cover factor and porosity proxies, often using Fourier-based representations [9], [7], [16], [10], [19].

• Integrated mechanical behavior studies combine experimental testing (shear, compression, yarn pullout) with constitutive and meso/multi-scale modeling to capture yarn interactions, intrinsic shear and auxetic responses [2], [14], [18], [17], [15], [5].

• Linking microstructure to functional properties such as comfort, porosity and UV protection uses empirical models and image-based metrics to predict performance from fabric and fibre parameters [3], [6], [8], [11], [20].

• Design and pattern automation and advanced weaving concepts, including Jacquard color/weave automation and 3D preforms, enable rapid exploration of aesthetic and manufacturability trade-offs [19], [20], [12].
