Quantitative Assessment the Physical-Mechanical Properties of Elastic Knitted Fabrics

Abstract:

Five kinds of elastic knitted fabrics are purchased commercially for physical-mechanical properties testing, which including tensile properties, shearing properties, bending properties, compression properties and surface characteristics. Objective assessment the physical-mechanical properties of elastic knitted fabrics at its course and warp direction, respectively. And the influence of elastic fiber content on its properties is analyzed. The fabric with higher elastic fiber content has lower value in tensile force (F), elasticity modulus (E), shearing stiffness (G) and bending stiffness (B), also lower value in MIU, MMD and SMD, but higher value in tensile resilience (Re), compression linearity (LC) and compression energy (WC). The results will be the basic data for quantitatively analysis of relationship between physical-mechanical properties and performance of compression garment.
