| Abstract: | The paper presents the shear frame test with a new method of gripping the fabric sample to describe the shear behaviour of fabrics used in the garment industry under high shear strain conditions (maximum shear angles of 20°). This shear frame test was also used to compare between hysteresis curves given by the Kawabata evaluation system (KES) test, the bias extension test and the shear frame test for 10 woven fabrics. The linear viscoelastic theory was used to analyse the shear relaxation behaviour of the woven fabrics. In addition, in this study, the kernel function of the generalised Maxwell model has been used to describe the viscoelastic properties of the fabrics. |
