Analysis on mechanical properties of honeycomb cotton fabrics

To rationally apply honeycomb type fabric in reinforced composites,different honeycomb weave fabrics were developed with the same materials and the same density of warp and weft.The tensile strength,tearing strength,bursting strength of the fabrics were tested and the impact of fabric weave on the mechanical properties was analyzed.The experiments demonstrated that under the conditions of the same materials and the same density of warp and weft,the mechanical properties of the fabrics are significantly different due to different honeycomb weaves.The more interlacing times of yarns,the smaller the honeycomb size,and the greater the fabric breaking strength.Breaking elongation,tearing strength,and bursting strength of fabric firstly increased and then decreased with the decrease of honeycomb size.
