Real value of weave binding coefficient as a factor of woven fabric strength

Abstract

The yarn and fabric strengths of wool clothings were determined with the aim of assessing their functional dependence. Other structural parameters of investigated fabrics, such as density and yarn diameter, served for the calculation of the characteristic surface area. On the basis of the magnitude of contact, interlacing, free and porous surfaces in a weave repeat unit of the fabric, the real value of the weave binding coefficient was calculated. The measured values of yarn strength, fabric density and strength enabled calculation of the yarn strength coefficient. Functional dependence of the yarn strength coefficient and real weave binding coefficient, as well as the formula for calculation of fabric strength, are used to establish a mathematical model for the investigated fabric strength as a Junction of their structural elements.
