dc.description.abstract |
Drape is an important property directly
related to textile aesthetics. It plays a significant role in
developing and selecting textile materials in the textile and
apparel industry. Considerable research has been carried out
to examine the relationship between the drape behaviour and
fabric physical parameters in woven fabric. However, very
little research has been carried out on the drape of knitted
fabrics. Knitted fabrics are more popular due to fashion
versatility, ability of designs and product development.
Objective evaluation of the drape of a fabric is of great
importance, since understanding the drape behaviour is
important for the selection of appropriate fabrics for intended
end-uses and therefore the correlation between drape and
fabric properties should be known. The focus of this research is
to find out the relationship between single jersey (plain)
finished knitted fabric drape behaviour and identified key
fabric parameters. For this purpose, the drape of the fabric
was tested against various fabric parameters using a Cusick
Drape Tester. An empirical model was developed that
expresses the relationship as well as helps to calculate the
drape coefficient directly. |
