Compression of Greystate Fabrics as a Function of Yarn Structure

Abstract

Data analysis of the compression of a fabric can only be done using a mathematical model to smooth the results. The best formula is Van Wyk's, although the meaning of the physical parameters is very difficult to define for a fabric. On the basis of Van Wyck's equation, a study of the compressibility of a fabric whose weft is made of multiple threads (classic ply-yams, open-end, combed or carded) shows that the struc ture of a fabric has a higher value than the structure of a thread. The mechanical properties of a fabric are supposed to be essentially due to its construction and, to a lesser extent, to the threads from which it is made.

Indentation of hairy surfaces: Role of friction and entanglement

“…However, this simplification seems to be convenient for high pressures [15] but not in other cases [23].…”

Brush model to predict the friction of hairy textile fabrics from indentation measurements

“…Van Wyk [24] proposed an appropriate function to fit measurement data of a fibrous material during compression. Later this empirical function has been applied to the case of standard fabrics [25] and hairy fabrics [26,27]. On this basis the following expression can be derived for the indentation pressure, i.e.…”

Analysis of compression property of height-alterable double-layer hollow tubular fabrics for industrial textiles

“…At present, tubular fabrics are more concentrated on the tracheal stent [3,4], the mechanical properties of the tubular fabric and so on [5,6]. Many researchers studied the compression property about woven fabric [7][8][9][10], nonwoven fabrics [11], and knitted fabrics [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Though the structures of fabrics are different, the key of these fabrics is the compression properties.…”

“…Some researchers presented the basic compression theory for fiber assembly fabrics, which aimed to observe how the structure of a yarn or a fabric influenced its compressibility before finishing [8,19,20]. They found that the curve of compression was independent of the fiber arrangement when a yarn was made.…”
