Some Experiments on the Friction of Fabrics on Human Skin.

Abstract

A method is described for measuring the friction of fabrics on human skin. The effects of fabric wetness, skin hairiness, operator difference, normal load and direction of fabric threads relative to the direction of pull have been investigated for six tropical overall fabrics. (Author)
