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):
