Our previous Studies Showed a possibility of mechanical evaluation of so-called fabric hand by measuring the withdrawal resistance of the fabric through a ring hole. Conforming to the idea, a practical fabric handling tester was constructed and its characteristics were studied and dis cussed. It was recognized that the tester can be used as a practical means to rank the fabric hand, and moreover, that it has the following merits in comparison with other methods.1) Higher reliability of the results.2) Easier handling of the tester.3) Easier preparation of the test piece.4) More sharply evaluated results are expected.
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.
