Modeling The Tensile Strength Of A Linen Fabric: Case Of A Dyed Woven Fabric

Abstract

This article relates the behavior through mathematical models of the tensile strength of a fabric composed of linen. During this work, 3 types of dyed woven fabric composed of linen are sampled. With these 3 types we obtained 63 samples taken and studied, and from these samples we were able to derive the tensile strength behavior of the fabric. The characteristics observed during the experiments which can influence the tensile strength of the fabric are: the width and weight of the fabric, the density of the warp and weft yarns of the fabric, the tensile strength and the kilometer resistance of the yarns, and the actual metric number of the yarns. A mathematical model is developed for each characteristic considered. The mathematical models are presented with their accuracies illustrated by relative and absolute errors.
