Abstract
In this paper, sane aspects of the physical and mechanical properties of woven fabrics, such as mass, thickness, stiffness, air-permeability, and compression, are considered as criteria for assessing the effects of damage caused by changes in frictional abrasion when the Accelerator Tester is used. Two 100% cotton woven fabrics were used in the experiment. Results show that changes occurred in fabric properties as a result of incremental wear. The mass per square metre, coercive couple, and flexural rigidity show a consistent decrease, while thickness, air–permeability, and compression show inconsistent increases with increasing time of abrasion.
