Abstract

Theories of the biaxial tensile properties, the uniaxial tensile properties, and the shear-deformation properties of plain-weave fabrics are presented in a general form, a simplified stereo-model of the structure of plain-weave fabrics being used throughout these theories. In the first part of this series, the biaxial tensile-deformation theory is presented with the aid of the model, and the forces required to stretch the fabric along the warp and weft directions at the same time are theoretically calculated from the properties of yarns and from the structure of the fabrics. In this biaxial theory, both warp and weft yarns are assumed to be perfectly flexible, and the forces caused by yarn-bending are ignored. The compressibility of the yarn under the action of a lateral compressive force is also introduced into the theory, and it is shown that the compressive properties of yarns have a great influence on the tensile properties of the fabrics.
