The effect of fabric design and weft density on bagging behavior of cotton woven fabrics

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of weave design and fabric weft density on the bagging behavior of cotton woven fabric interpreted in terms of fabric mechanical properties using FAST system. The results of this research show that the shear rigidity and formability significantly increased with weft density, whereas most fabric bagging parameters including bagging fatigue, resistance, hysteresis, and residual bagging hysteresis decreased accordingly. However, the weft density has no significant influence on residual bagging height. Moreover, the result of this work revealed that cotton fabric with a twill 2/2 structure exhibited the lowest shear rigidity and the highest formability which, in turn, led to the highest bagging parameters including bagging fatigue, resistance, hysteresis and residual bagging hysteresis, and the lowest residual bagging height among plain, twill 3/1, and hopsack weave designs.

Determining Formability Function of Worsted Woven Fabrics in Terms of Fabric Direction

“…In addition, in this condition, if the total helix angle of warp and weft yarns is close to 90 degrees, highest fabric formability is expected [10]. Doustar et al (2010) examined the influence of weave structure and fabric weft density on bagging of cotton woven fabrics. They concluded that fabric formability increased significantly by increment in weft density, however, bagging parameters decreased [11].…”

Kim Their results demonstrate that fabric properties affect sewn fabric appearance considerably compared to sewing parameters; and among various fabric's properties, fabric bending rigidity and formability are the determinant factors [12].…”

Consumption of the sewing thread of jean pant using taguchi design analysis

“…Many studies are conducted to evaluate some clothing problems such as recovery, bagging, physico-mechanical behaviours, etc. [1][2][3]. However, concerning thread consumption, comparatively little investigative work has taken place on the interrelationship between the sewing machine parameters, the thread insertion inputs and clothing morphology.…”

The Effect of Single and Dual-Core Yarns Produced with Different Core Materials on the Elasticity and Recovery Properties of Denim Fabrics

“…The performance of stretch denim fabrics under the effect of repeated home laundering practices was studied by Kan et al [22]. Doustar et al investigated the effect of weave design and fabric weft density on the bagging tendency of woven fabrics using FAST system [23]. In this study, the effects that weft yarn type (double-core, soft-core and hard-core) and core material have on the elasticity and recovery properties of the denim fabrics were investigated.…”
