Abstract:

The coefficient of the transversal deformation of woven fabrics while stretched one-directionally was determined by experiments. Three-axial fabrics, four-axial fabrics with homogeneous and inhomogeneous nets, and six-axial fabrics with an inhomogeneous net were the subjects of our investigation. Classical, two-dimensional fabrics with area masses of a similar order of magnitude were accepted for comparison. An analysis indicated that the transversal deformability of woven fabrics decreases with the increase in the number of thread systems.
