A Study on the Drapability and Mechanical Properties of Woven Fabrics

직물의 역학특성과 Drape성에 관한 연구

The drape coefficients and the mechanical properties of woven fabrics were measured by Cusick drape tester and KES-F system respectively. The regression equations can be obtained between drape coefficients and mechanical properties by means of multiple stepwise regression analysis. The mechanical properties of woven fabrics influenced on the drape coefficients had been inspected and the results were obtained as follows: 1. The mechanical properties, B, 2HG, LC and WC showed high correlation with drape coefficients. 2. The order of mechanical properties which contributes to the drape coefficients based on the regression analysis is bending, shearing, compression, surface and thickeness, and weight properties. 3. The fact that regression coefficients is expected, even if calculation three blocks, had been known in regression equation. Drape coefficient=7.59723-11.48935 (B)-4.55305 (2HB)＋1.77623(2HG5)＋1.532199(G)-3.30846 (2HG)-1.96802 (RC)＋0.094405 (WC) ＋6.90655 (LC) 4. With the decrease of blend ratio of wool, putting on clothe, wearing performance was bad because crumbling of shape and wrinkle were easily made on appearance. Particularly, it was bad when blend ratio of wool was decreased to 40%.
