Modeling and Analysing the Tensile Behavior of Fabric Samples

Abstract

This paper presents a structural-mechanical model for describing the tensile behavior of textile fabrics in main directions based on the fiber-bundle-cells modeling theory and method. The applicability of this model, created by a variable transformed E-bundle shifted along the deformation axis, was demonstrated by analyzing the tensile load-deformation behavior and the breaking process including some size effects of a plain woven fabric made of OE rotor cotton yarns.
