Validation by experimental study the relationship between fabric tensile strength and weave structures

Abstract

Fabric strength plays a crucial role in determining and influencing all other performance attributes of textiles. Therefore, considering the strength of the fabric becomes essential when choosing the appropriate textile for a specific purpose. This article presents an experimental study that focusses on the properties of 100% polyester fabrics. To conduct this study, we created ten fabrics with different weave structures, resulting in a total of 200 samples for tensile strength testing. Moving on to the second phase, we analysed the physical and constructional characteristics of the fabrics, including the number of warp and weft threads, warp and weft density, and weight. This analysis was carried out based on the weave structures. Additionally, we performed tensile strength tests in both warp and weft directions to examine the mechanical properties of the fabrics. Finally, a statistical analysis was performed to determine the impact of the weave structures on the tensile strength of the fabrics.
