The Influence of Woven Fabric Structure on the Woven Fabric Strength

In this article, the methods of assessment of the woven fabric structure are described, the weave factors of woven fabric and integrated fabric structure factors suggested by different scientists are presented, the differences and advantages of the above factors are analyzed. The dependence of the woven fabric breaking force and elongation at break on different weave factors have been obtained within the period of the research. The obtained diagrams of points show that the correlation between the breaking force and the weave factors of the woven fabric does not exist, though the elongation at break depends on the weave of the woven fabric, i.e. with the increase of rigidity of woven fabric, the elongation at break increases. Thus the dependence of breaking force and elongation at break on the weft setting has been determined. It has been determined that with the increase of weft setting the breaking force slightly decreases, while the elongation at break increases. It has been determined from the breaking force and elongation of break of the woven fabric dependence on the integrated fabric structure factors that the correlation between the breaking force and the integrated fabric structure factors does not exist, while the elongation at break increases with the rigidity of the woven fabric structure.
