Measurement of the Drape of Woven Fabrics Including Metal Wire-Wrapped Hybrid

Evaluation of the Shearing Properties of Woven Fabrics: Rated Force

This paper introduces a very simple way to evaluate low stress shearing properties of woven fabrics with the advantages of simplicity and easy accessibility. A 200-gram load is applied on small portion of the sample instead of applying the load overall width of the fabric. As a result, buckling of the fabric will happen and the loading-unloading curve will show the behavior of the fabric during...

Effect of Seams on Drape of Fabrics

Drape of the fabric is its ability to hang freely in graceful folds when some area of it is supported over a surface and the rest is unsupported. Drape is a unique property that allows a fabric to be bent in more than in one direction, When two-dimensional fabric are converted to three-dimensional garment form. In the present study, the effects of sewing of different seam were selected on diffe...

An Analytical Study of Initial Shear Behavior of Plain Woven Hybrid Fabrics

During recent years, the fabrics made from different yarns have been used for industrial purposes such as composite materials. Given the importance of the shear properties of these fabrics, a mechanical model based on the Grosberg and Park's Model for hybrid plain-woven fabrics is proposed. In this model, using the Energy method, the initial load-shear angle behavior of hybrid fabrics is calcul...

Multifunctional graphene woven fabrics

Tailoring and assembling graphene into functional macrostructures with well-defined configuration are key for many promising applications. We report on a graphene-based woven fabric (GWF) prepared by interlacing two sets of graphene micron-ribbons where the ribbons pass each other essentially at right angles. By using a woven copper mesh as the template, the GWF grown from chemical vapour depos...
