Evaluating Shear Rigidity of Woven Fabrics

A new shear tester of woven fabrics based on the trellis shear model is described. The tester can be used to carry out shear deformation experiments under quite low tensile stresses. The values of shear rigidity tested on the new tester were compared with those tested on the uniaxial tensile tester...

Description
Summary:A new shear tester of woven fabrics based on the trellis shear model is described. The tester can be used to carry out shear deformation experiments under quite low tensile stresses. The values of shear rigidity tested on the new tester were compared with those tested on the uniaxial tensile tester and the KES (Kawabata’s Evaluation System) instrument. The results confirm that the tester is more feasible and effective for measuring shear behavior in a natural state. This study establishes a foundation for constructing a universal instrument that can be used to measure shear deformation under any conditions.
