While we tested the samples for a total number of 720,000 cycles, after 486,000 cycles the tester was stopped and measurements of the woven fabric count were made. 

An important objective of this preliminary experiment was to monitor any changes in the structural properties of prosthetic fabrics during accelerated fatigue testing. First the woven fabric count, including the warp density and weft density, was measured using the... 

From Table 3 we can see that exposure to fatigue testing causes the woven fabric count to decline and the porosity to increase. This indicates that the fabric samples undergo fatigue and experience stretching and dilation. For all four samples the fall in warp density is more noticeable than in the weft density, suggesting that the effect of pressurized pulsatile... 

The fabric count refers to the number of warp yarns (ends) per centimetre and number of filling yarns (picks) per centimetre. For example, a fabric count of 8.5x4.5 means that there are 8.5 ends per centimetre running in the warp (lengthwise) direction and 4.5 picks per centimetre running in the fill (transverse) direction. Fabric count plus the properties of the warp and fill yarns used to weave fabrics are the principal factors which determine fabric strength. 

Count n. (1) A numerical designation of yarn size indicating the relationship of length to weight. (2) The number of warp yarns (ends) and filling yarns (picks) per inch in a woven fabric, or the number of wales and courses per inch in a knit fabric. For example, a fabric count of 68 x 52 indicates 68 ends/in. in the warp and 52 picks/ in. in the filling.

No changes in fabric dimensions and, therefore, in fabric count were observed. Accordingly, the rearrangement occurred only at the level of the warp yarn the overall fabric construction was not affected by the rearrangement mechanism. Since weft yarn did not undergo changes, either in crimping or in yarn cross-section, the fabric thickness measured was no different after... 

With the possible combinations of glass compositions, filament diameters, yarn types, and the number of different weave patterns available, the number of possible fiberglass cloths can almost be unlimited. The effects that these glass fabrics have on the base material are driven by these variables. In addition, the fabric count, or the number of warp yarns and fill yarns, also helps determine the properties of the fabric and the base material. Warp yarns are those that lie in the length (machine direction) of the fabric, whereas the fill yarns lie across the warp direction. The warp direction is also commonly called the grain direction.
