 Full text | Abstract: In this article the influence of fabric structure, expressed by the integrated fabric structure factor , on the breaking force and elongation at break of a fabric is analysed. The weaves were divided into two groups, i.e. weaves, the floats of which are distributed at even intervals throughout the entire surface of the fabric, and horizontally striped weaves. We determined that the character of fabric breakage in the weave groups is different. Based on the analysis of the dependence of the breaking force on the factor , we can affirm that the dependence between the breaking force and fabric structure is not clearly visible in the woven fabrics tested. Any change in the elongation at break curve of weaves with evenly distributed floats is more intensive in comparison with that of across striped weaves. After evaluation of the dependences of all the weaves, we could see that the dependence determination coefficient is sufficiently high. |
