Effects of Fabric Parameters on Bursting Strength of Home Textiles
Abstract
Performances of any textile structure mostly depend on its behaviour against subjected forces in different directions. Strength tests are the most employed method in order to evaluate the performances of textile materials during usage and processing. Cloth production parameters are the most important factors that affect the fabric usage and operating performances. In this research, effects of different production parameters on bursting strength of some woven fabrics used as upholstery, drapery, and sheeting known as home textiles are investigated. It is found that fabric bursting strength is affected by fineness and density values of warp and weft yarns.
