The mechanics of plain woven fabrics

Abstract

A procedure for estimating the low‐strain mechanical properties of plain woven fabrics is presented. A quantity prominent in the equations is the contact length at the yarn cross‐over, which has not been estimated till the moment. A consideration of Peirce's rigid thread model leads to a method of estimating the contact lengths from a knowledge of the fabric sett and yarn crimps. A comparison of the theory with some experimental results is given in this paper.
