Abstract: | There is a variety of approaches for investigating bending behavior of woven fabrics. Some of them are based on fabric deformation
with one edge fixed; the others are based on measurement of force, moment or energy producing bending deformation. In all
methods, bending properties is acquired after testing prepared fabric samples. Therefore, in this work an attempt is made
by a mechanical model and a novel calculation technique to determine bending characteristics of the plain woven fabrics before
sample production. Theoretical data including bending length, bending rigidity and bending modulus were directly determined
for supposed fabric samples with a given yarn count and yarn density using Peirce’s structural model for plain woven fabric
and a especial code written in Maple12. Besides, fabric samples with the defined characteristics were woven on a Sulzer-Ruti
weaving machine. Then, these fabrics were tested for bending behavior using Shirley bending tester. Comparison showed good
agreement between predicted and measured bending characteristics of the fabrics. However, theoretical bending rigidities of
the samples were more than experimental values. |
