Assessment of Transversal Deformations
of Multi-Axial Woven Fabrics Stretched One-Directionally
Authors: Frontczak-Wasiak Izabela, Snycerski Marek
The coefficient of the transversal deformation of woven fabrics while stretched one-directionally was determined by experiments. Three-axial fabrics, four-axial fabrics with homogeneous and inhomogeneous nets, and six-axial fabrics with an inhomogeneous net were the subjects of... more »

Evaluation of the Structural Homogeneity of Denim Fabric by Means of Digital Image Analysis
Authors: Owczarek Magdalena, Masajtis Józef
A new, fast, precise and method of evaluating the homogeneity of a fabric’s structure which is not destructive has been devised. In this article, the new method was tested on denim fabrics. The basis for evaluating... more »

A Discrete Probability Model of Forces in Yarns Transported Through the Drawing Zone
Authors: Włodarczyk Bogdan, Kowalski Krzysztof
A simulation of forces acting in model-yarns transported through the drawing zone was carried out. The model is characterised by two random variables: the length of a yarn segment (link) and the yarn’s drawing rigidity. The... more »
