Fabric breakage

A cylindrical probe comprised of steel with a hemispherical test head of diameter 9 mm O.I mm (the hemispherical head should have a r us of curvature of 20 mm) and a length suitable to allow ease of testing up to fiibric breakage. The zero position for this test shall be taken as the point where the probe contacts the fabric resulting in a force of 0.25 N. The probe shall move fi om zero position towards the fabric surface at a speed of 1 mm/s until fabric breakage is produced. 

Kozhushko and Kopnov [30] identify a number of possible failure modes for fabric conveyor belts. Abrasive wear, fabric breakage or joint failure are all possible failure modes but the failure mode of most interest here is that of fatigue delamination, and it is... 

This apparent time dependent cell disruption is caused because of the statistically random distribution of the orientation of the cells within a flow field and the random changes in that distribution as a function of time, the latter is caused as the cells spin in the flow field in response to the forces that act on them. In the present discussion this is referred to as apparent time dependency in order to distinguish it from true time-dependent disruption arising from anelastic behaviour of the cell walls. Anelastic behaviour, or time-dependent elasticity, is thought to arise from a restructuring of the fabric of the cell wall material at a molecular level. Anelasticity is stress induced and requires energy which is dissipated as heat, and if it is excessive it can weaken the structure and cause its breakage. 

The importance of frictional properties largely exceeds the area of domestic fabric softeners. They are also key in the textile industry, as they condition the slipping of fibers over each other in all mechanical processes [20], Friction causes breakage of threads and generates static electricity. More generally, softened fabrics are pressed and sewed more easily, as there is less resistance to the metal movement. They also relax more quickly at the dry state since fibers slide over one another more easily. However, it is more difficult to cut fabrics with scissors as the blade slips over the fibers and fewer fibers are tom during cutting [20],...
