Abstract
The shear deformation properties of two-bar tricot fabrics are analyzed and the theory for calculating the properties is developed by using the structure model. The unit structure of the model is constructed by three arcs of front-bar yarn and the same number of arcs of back-bar yarn, andthese arcs are stretched under shear deformation. This theory covers general shear deformation offabrics, for example, simple shear deformation, shear deformation under biaxial tensile deformation.In this theory, the forces for elongating the fabrics are calculated from the forces required for straightening the arcs and the frictional effect between the yarns is also taken into the consideration, but the elongation and the compressive properties of yarn is out of consideration . The structure constants required for calcualation can be obtained easily from wale density, course density, fabric weight and yarn count.
