Mechanical stability of fused textile systems

Presents the results of tests to determine the mechanical stability of textile fusing systems using two instruments: pulser ERDT‐3 and rotary‐rolls set‐up ARRV. The pulser ERDT‐3 allows textile systems in different testing conditions to be fatigued; one‐sided and double‐sided loading. Using instrument ARRV the specimen is not only fatigued in repeated one‐axed loading, but at the same time, its surface is abraded. Determines the relations between fusing conditions, fabric properties and glue line texture under different mechanical treatments. Proves that pressure increase allows a comparatively sufficient initial bond strength of textile systems forum, but this bond proves unstable under mechanical treatment.
