The Evaluation of Stiffness and Drape Behaviour of Wool Fabrics

Öz

Stiffness is an important mechanical property that influences fabric handle, clothing appearance and fit. The circular bending stiffness, fabric formability and drapeability have high influence on fitting the cloths to human body. In this study, the comparison of circular bending stiffness and drape of wool fabrics were analyzed.  Comparison of experimental data of fabric parameters shows reasonable agreement between circular bending stiffness and drape behavior.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Circular bending stiffness
• drape behaviour
• wool fabrics

Yün Kumaşların Rijitlik ve Dökümlülük Davranışlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Rijitlik kumaş tuşesi, giysi görünüşü ve formunu etkileyen önemli bir mekanik özelliktir. Dairesel eğilme rijitliği, kumaş şekillendirilebilirliği ve dökümlülük insan vücudunun giysi ile donatılmasında büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, dairesel eğilme rijitliği ve dökümlülüğün karşılaştırılmalı analizi yapılmıştır. Kumaş parametreleri ile deneysel verilerin karşılaştırılması dairesel eğilme rijitliği ile dökümlülük arasında makul bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Dairesel eğilme rijitliği
• dökümlülük davranışı
• yün kumaşlar
