“…/j.ijsolstr.2007 demonstrate that the mechanical behavior of knitted fabric is very different from that of woven fabric. For example, a plain woven fabric sheet subjected to a tension along warp/weft direction does not buckle (Zhang and Fu, 2001), but a plain knitted fabric sheet under tension along a non-course direction can buckle and the one under tension along a course-direction cannot buckle; see the photos shown of Fig. 1 in Zhang et al (2004).…”

Knitting structures make plain knitted fabric different from woven fabric. With the aid of a micro-constitutive model the buckling of a knitted fabric sheet subjected to simple shear in an arbitrary direction is investigated. The large deformation of the fabric sheet in its critical configuration is considered. The theory of stability for finite deformations is applied to the analysis. All the stress boundary conditions of the knitted fabric sheet are satisfied. An equation for determining the buckling direction angle is derived. It is shown that there are two possible buckling modes: a flexural mode and a barreling mode. The buckling conditions for the two modes are also obtained, respectively. A numerical calculation reveals that only the flexural mode can occur, which agrees with experimental observations.

“…Simple experiments demonstrate that the buckling behaviors of a knitted fabric are much different from those of a woven fabric, e.g., a woven fabric sheet subjected a tension along the warp direction does not buckle as shown in Ref. [5], but a knitted fabric sheet subjected a tension along the wale direction does buckle. A photograph of a buckled configuration of a piece of knitted fabric stretched along the wale direction is shown in Fig.…”

With the aid of the micro-mechanical model of knitted fabric proposed in Part 1 we analyze the buckling of a knitted fabric sheet when it is subjected to a tension along the wale direction. The large deformation of the fabric sheet in the critical configuration is considered and, to avoid possible deviation due to the approximation of the theory of thin plate, the three-dimensional theory of instability is used. The fabric sheet is considered as a three-dimensional body and all boundary conditions are satisfied. It is shown that the buckling of the fabric sheet is possible, two buckling modes and the corresponding buckling conditions are obtained, but only the flexural mode is physically possible as observed in experiments.

The typical micro-knitting structure of knitted fabric, which makes it very different from woven fabric, is described. The tensile tests of knitted fabric are reported. The deformations of the micro-knitting structures are carefully studied. The study indicates that when a knitted fabric sheet is subjected to a tension along w-direction an extra compressive stress field inside loop in c-direction is induced. The extra stress field is also determined through analysis. Finally, a micro-mechanical model of knitted fabric is proposed. This work paves the way for the simulations of buckling modes of a knitted fabric sheet as are observed in experiments.Knitted fabric consists of more complicated microstructures. The simulations of draping or buckling of knitted fabric, and the determination of its con-stitutive model have not been paid a due attention in literature. In the present paper we describe the typical micro-knitting structures of knitted fabric, report the results of the tensile tests of knitted fabric, analyze the deformation of the micro-knitting structure, and, finally, propose a micro-mechanical model for knitted fabric.The more details about recent advances in fabric mechanics can be found in the review article [8] and the book [9].
