The differences in frictional forces acting between fabrics woven from filament yarns are dependent on the morphology of the fabrics and the rubbing direction. When one fabric is moved across a second stationary fabric and the projecting yarn waves of one of the fabrics is rubbed perpendicular to the yarn axes orientation, the Howell's characteristics of frictional resistance for the fabric and yarn have similar values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
