Influence of Weave Parameters on Woven Fabric Tear Strength

Abstract

The influence of weave on woven fabric tear strength is analysed in this paper. Brierlay’s factor Fm, Milašius’ factor P and P’ and modification of parameter P made by the authors (P’weft) were used in the investigations presented. Woven fabrics of 100 % viscose multifilament yarn manufactured from the same yarns and with the same density but with seven different weaves (plain weave, weft rib 2/2, warp rib 2/2, twill 2/2, twill 3/1, basket weave 2/2 and 4 healds sateen) were used for the investigations. It was stated that the well-known weave parameters of Brierley Fm and Milašius P and P’ cannot be used for the prediction of the tear strength of all kinds of weaves without any limitations. All parameters presented can be used for the strength prediction of a weave when they are divided into two groups – a rib-based group and twill-based group. Prediction of the tear strength for rib-based weaves in the weft has to be carried out using parameter P’weft, where the influence of parameters P1 and P is varied.

1a2_0081_ Influence of Weave Parameters on Fabric Tear Strength

“…The weaves were chosen to cover various main kinds of weave constructionplain, ribs, twills (in some twill weave fabrics, the diagonal effect may also be seen clearly on the back side of the fabric), basket weave (a variation of the plain weave construction, formed by treating two or more warp yarns), and sateens (a variation of the sateens weave, produced by floating fill yarns over warp yarns). 4 healds sateen was chosen due to the possibility of manufacturing fabric from the same beam of warps and with the same density of yarns, which could be used for real fabric manufacture [3]. Sateen with higher floatining would be unusual for real fabric due to the low density of yarns in the fabric.…”

Influence of woven fabric construction parameters on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness: Part I – weave influence

“…[37][38][39] The basic division of weaves according to these authors Dufek, 37 Shenton, 38 and Bednar and Svatos 39 is based on fundamental weave groups, which are weaves derived from basic weaves, randomly arranged weaves, patterned weaves, and other criteria. Gokarneshan, 40 Law, 41 Armitage, 42 Nikolic et al, 43 Milasius and Milasius, 44 Brierley, 45 and Milasius 46 have also researched thread interlacing in woven fabrics, describing the structural arrangements of binding points in fundamental weave patterns and selected derived weaves. These publications use a purely experimental approach to their study.…”

An Experimental Study on Selected Performance Properties of 100% Cotton Terry Fabrics

“…For this purpose, performance tests (abrasion resistance, pilling, tensile strength, tear strength etc.) are applied to the woven fabrics mostly keeping relation with fibre, yarn and fabric parameters [20][21][22][23][24]. In addition to this one of the main problems of terry fabrics is the poor resistance of pile yarns against pull-out which affects not only the functionality but also the appearance of the product though this may originate from fibre, yarn and fabric parameters [25][26][27].…”
