Abstract
The stress-strain curves of spunlace nonwovens are theoretically determined from the model suggested in the previous paper. and these curves ate compared with the experimental stress-strain curves. From the comparison of results, we found the following facts. Firstly, the increasing of fiber compactness on spunlace nonwovens shows higher value of slippage factor, and the frequency of gibber orientation distribution is gradually increased to the machine direction of the nonwovens. Secondly, the tensile strength of spunlace nonwoven fabrics has an increasing trend with increasing the (ibex compactness related to the fiber consolidation of spunlace nonwovens, and the distribution of Poisson's ratio is far lower compared with many other nonwoven fabrics. Thirdly, the general pattern of the variation obtained between the theoretical and experimental stress-strain curves of spunlace nonwovens shows considerably good agreement.
