本书从织物与织物组织结构的概念出发，详细介绍织物组织的分类、各种组织的绘图方法及其织物上机图的绘作方法，重点阐述原组织、变化原组织、联合组织、复杂组织的特征、构成方法及相关的织物；同时从培养学生的实际能力出发，介绍机织物分析的要求和方法。根据学习织物组织结构的特点，本书在介绍各种组织的构成原理的同时，运用织物组织图、结构图和模拟图的方式详细展示各种织物组织的结构特征，具有较强的理论性、知识性和实用性。
本书可作为高等纺织院校纺织专业教材，也可作为纺织工程技术人员和机织面料设计师的参考用书。

庄勤亮，Professor ZHUANG has long been engaged in teaching and scientific research in textile science and engineering at the College of Textiles in Donghua University, specializing in the structure, formation and performance of various woven fabrics. She graduated from Donghua University with B.Sc. in Textile Engineering, and gained her M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom. She has been teaching the course of "Woven Fabric Structures" at the College of Textiles in Donghua University for more than twenty years, offering bilingual courses and full English courses for both undergraduate and graduate students (including international students). And the course of "Woven Fabric Structures" that she teaches was awarded the title of demonstration course by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission. At the same time, in the field of research on the relationship between woven fabric structures and their performances, the author has had dozens of research papers published and the related invention patents granted. This book is one of the works written after the author's long-term related teaching and scientific research work.
