Investigation of Fabric Weave Construction versus Tear Resistance.

Abstract

This investigation was directed at identifying those factors of weave construction which enhance fabric tear resistance, and producing and testing fabric samples to determine conditions for optimum performance. A thorough literature survey on fabric tear resistance was conducted. The literature indicated that yarn strength and yarn mobility, related to fiber strength and woven fabric geometry, directly affect fabric tear strength.
