Abstract
Fabric crease, a common structure in the manufacturing of smart textiles, has a direct impact on the function and application of the product. Based on the self-designed fabric crease testing device, this paper shows that a prediction model of crease energy change is established to evaluate the mechanical properties of fabrics crease during the slow elastic deformation. During the test of the fabric crease, the relevant parameters of the crease energy model are determined by analyzing the falling speed and height of the fabric, and the bending degree of the fabric on both sides, including the impact coefficient in the kinetic and the bending energy models, as well as the corner multiplier and corner coefficient in the gravitational potential energy model. The experimental results indicate that in the process of the slow elastic deformation, the energy changes of crease recovery are mainly derived from changes in gravitational potential energy. In addition, in the verification experiment of the crease energy model, the energy results of the finite element simulation and video image calculation prove that the accuracy of the developed energy model is over 0.8. Compared with the existing fabric crease testing methods, the stability of energy model test has increased by 1.76%.
