A Study on the Tensile Properties of Plain-Knitted Fabrics

평편성포의 신장특성에 관한 연구

This paper proposes a mathematical model of the plain-knitted loop, based on the simple elastica, which can be used to describe the dimensional properties of a plain-knitted fabric. Uniaxial and strip biaxial tensile properties of plain-knitted fabric were theoretically calculated from structure of the fabric and some of mechanical properties of yarn. The theory was compared with some experimental data.
