Mechanical Properties of Textile Fibres

 

Mechanical Properties of Textile Fibres

Mechanical properties of textile materials can be classified into mainly three classes-

01.  Tensile properties (behaviors shown by textile materials for applying load or tension):

a)    Breaking load

b)   Tensile strength

c)    Tenacity

d)   Breaking extension 

e)    Initial modulus

f)    Work of rupture

g)    Work factor

h)   Work recovery

i)     Elastic recovery

j)    Creep (temporary creep & permanent creep)

02. Flexural properties (behaviors shown by textile materials when subjected to bending):

a)    Flexural rigidity

b)   Bending recovery

c)    Bending modulus

03. Torsional properties (behaviors shown by textile materials for applying torsional force):

a)    Torsional rigidity

b)   Breaking twist

c)    Shear modulus

      04. Frictional properties (behaviors shown by textile materials due to causing the friction):
