The plain knitted structure (cotton) generally utilized in the clothing domain has been studied with cyclic loading at diverse fatigue number cycles. Fatigue test induces delayed-elastic and permanent deformation that increase according to cyclic elongation. The delayed-elastic and permanent deformation of tested knit has been discussed based on Burger’s rheological model. This model is suitable to describe the deformation behavior during relaxation of a plain knitted structure. The proposed rheological model permits us to estimate the elastic, viscoelastic and plastic components ofthe different tested fabrics after fatigue test.

Abstract


The plain knitted structure (cotton) generally utilized in the clothing domain has been studied with cyclic loading at diverse fatigue number cycles. Fatigue test induces delayed-elastic and permanent deformation that increase according to cyclic elongation. The delayed-elastic and permanent deformation of tested knit has been discussed based on Burger’s rheological model. This model is suitable to describe the deformation behavior during relaxation of a plain knitted structure. The proposed rheological model permits us to estimate the elastic, viscoelastic and plastic components ofthe different tested fabrics after fatigue test.
