Tensile properties

The effect of fiber type, yarn structure and fabric structure on the frictional characteristics of sock fabrics

“…The difference in behavior between wool and acrylic fibers may also be attributable to wool's decreased bending modulus when wet. 33,34 Fiber bending modulus, in turn, may affect the compressibility of the fabric, thus contributing to changes in the parameter deformation prior to the onset of sliding.…”

Production and Characterization of Melt-Spun Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) Blend Monofilaments

“…Fibers or filaments have very small and irregular (mostly natural fibers) diameters. The specimen’s dimensions such as the cross-sectional area influence the mechanical properties . For instance, if all other fiber parameters are equal, an increase in the cross-sectional area results in a proportional increase in the fiber’s breaking load .…”

“…The elongation of our fibers is drastically lower (ε Fmax = 4.18%) compared to the elongation at break of elastomers (>500%), and the initial modulus is much higher with 41.12 cN/tex as compared to 0.0026−0.0071 N/tex. 43 The mono_0.5 filaments are rather comparable to polyamide 6.6 staple-fibers that show an initial modulus of 0.6 N/tex. 43 Mono_0.2 filaments could not be tested with the single-fiber tensile tester because the elongation at break was too high, and the machine reached its maximum before the filament could break.…”

Consolidation of Black-dyed Māori Textile Artefacts: Evaluating the Efficacy of Sodium Alginate

“…Each muka strand was weighed (mg; Mettler Toledo AT400 balance) to calculate the linear density (tex). Six tensile properties were calculated from the forceextension curves recorded for each strand; strength (tenacity N/tex), stiffness (modulus N/tex), extensibility (strain at maximum load %, strain to rupture %), and toughness (specific energy to maximum load mN/tex, specific energy to rupture mN/tex (Yang 2006;Morton and Hearle 2008). Each of these properties provides different information about the behaviour of fibre.…”

“…Daniels (1999b) suggested that tensile tests were limited to measuring loss of strength, and could not give a measure of flexibility, toughness, or handle. However, the current study included a number of parameters in addition to strength, namely extensibility (strain to maximum and complete failure), stiffness (modulus), and toughness (specific energy absorbed to maximum load and complete failure), all common measures in standard textile tensile testing (Morton and Hearle 2008).…”
