Modeling The Started Tear Of A Linen Fabric: Case Of A White Woven Fabric

Abstract

This article relates the behavior of the initiated tear of a white woven linen fabric. The initiated tearing of fabrics is represented by mathematical models and developed from the physical characteristics of the fabrics and the characteristics of the yarns constituting the fabric. Among the evaluation parameters we distinguish: the weight of the fabric, the yarn density in warp and weft of the fabric, the width of the fabric, the resistance of the yarns, the kilometric resistance of the yarns and the actual metric number of the yarns. The fabrics studied during this work are composed of 55% cotton and 45% also, tests and experiments were carried out with 66 fabric samples of the same composition in order to better understand the phenomenon of initiated tearing. The mathematical models given in this work are associated with their precision reflected by the relative and absolute errors.
