Abstract

        The mechanical parameters of a fabric are frequently used to determine its utility parameters. Unidirectional tear strength and elongations characteristics are the most significant strength criteria while usage. In this work, the researcher describes in detail the tear force and crack trajectory of tear strength for cotton fabric. Laboratory measurement methods and the correlation relationships between the results obtained by different cutting angles for most common cotton fabric in Egypt markets, using tongue tear method. The measurements of tear strength were carried out for fabrics produced from most common cotton spun methods. In addition, the unidirectional tear force according to different weave structures with different off-axis angles was measured for the group of textiles mentioned above, and the correlation coefficients between the weave parameter and angle of tear strength were calculated. The results shown a prediction proficiency to transitions analysis of total tear path distribution for woven fabric would have to take into account variety of precise parameters between the relations of working circumstances, distortion conditions, direction of stress angle, slippage and tip of the incision for daily cotton woven fabrics statistically significant (0, 0001), and it would be necessary to know how these characteristics are related to cloth construction.
