Theoretical analysis on slipping property of plain silk fabrics

Slipping of silk fabric during serviceability is a critical factor which influences fabric style and garment wearability.The slipping has a close relationship with such factors as fiber,yarn and fabric structures.Peirce' s Rigid-thread Model of the woven fabric was used to analyze the strength being subjected at the crossing point of single warp and weft during the process of stretching,and a mathematical model for calculating the slippage resistance of yarns in plain silk fabric was proposed.The relationship between structural parameter and slipping property of silk fabric was established both in theoretical and practical aspects for estimation of slippage resistance of yarns in silk fabric,thus providing a theoretical basis for the development and design of silk fabrics.
