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):
