Relationship between Knitting Parameters and Mechanical Properties of Warp Knitting Mesh Fabric

Abstract

The warp knitting parameters are important to determine the knitting process and the mechanical properties of warp knitting mesh fabric. In this work, the relationship between different knitting parameters (mesh side length and the let-off value) and the mechanical properties were studied. The effect of knitting parameters on the tensile strength and elongation was investigated by experiment. As a result, the relationship between the mechanical properties and the two parameters was found, and the optimization values of two parameters which could improve the isotropy of mesh fabric were given.
