Effect of Water Content of Fabric Mechanical Properties and Clothing Performance
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.1 Vol.1】
The mechanical properties of fabrics containing water differ from those of dry fabrics. This is mainly due to an increase in the coefficient of friction between fibers caused by their swelling. The measurement of the mechanical properties of fabrics were carried out by the KES-FB system to simulate the performance of fabrics in actual wear.
The following conclusion can be drawn.
1) Among primary mechanical deformations, a hysteresis component increased considerably with water content.
2) When oscillation was applied to a pendulum with a constant initial amplitude, the decay of the amplitudes was more pronounced with increasing water content.
3) The degree of fatigue of fabrics estimated by repeated shear deformation tests under a constant tensile load is affected by water content in fabrics, especially for worsted knitted fabrics and fabrics woven by synthetic textured yarns.
