Surface Frictional Resistance of Fabrics Woven from Filament Yarns

Abstract

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.

Study of skin–fabric interactions of relevance to decubitus: friction and contact‐pressure measurements

“…The purpose‐built TFA allows the simultaneous monitoring of friction and normal forces, which is essential for measuring accurate and repeatable friction coefficients (14). Our test method for analysing fabric friction simulates the reciprocating motions that commonly occur at the skin–textile interface (24). However, the experimental set‐up does not reproduce the frictional conditions on anatomical body shapes.…”

“…Zurek et al (24) presented a friction apparatus for fabric‐to‐fabric friction measurement based on bidirectional movements of a test assembly, fitted to a universal material testing machine. Hearle and Amirbayat (25) described a versatile fabric tester on the basis of frictional torque measurements to determine and measure roughness, bending stiffness and the frictional behaviour of fabrics.…”

Fabric objective measurement and drape

“…It is a significant property as it not only affects fabric and garment appearance but also contributes to apparel fabric comfort along with other properties such as handle and performance factors [38]. Fabric drapeability is dependent on variables such as fabric properties, object shape over which it is draped/hung and environmental conditions [30].…”

Comparative Analysis of Frictional Resistance of Wool Yarns

“…The device for yarn-on-yarn frictional measurement, shown in Figure 1, was constructed at the Institute of Textile Metrology, Clothing and Nonwovens at the Politechnika L6dzka [ 36 ] .…”

“…Resolving along the tangent and writing F for the tension in the yarn gives ( F + dF) IOS ( d</ 2 ) and since do is small, this becomes The values of the static and kinetic friction coefficients are given in Table VII and the values of the unit cohesion forces in Table VIII (ii) If the Instron cross head ascends, The value of q' ~ 3 / z is greater than 1, so using the function , ( i ) we find for descending motion (ii) and for ascending motion, When the value of z is known, the coefficient b may be calculated from Equations 43 and 44. Finally, when the value b is known, the cohesion force per unit length can be found from Equation 36. The results of coefficient b are given in Table IX ( Figure 6) and the values of the unit cohesion force are shown in Table X ( Figure 7).…”
