Abstract

In this study, fabric bagging tests are performed on a set of knitted fabrics that vary in design, tightness factor, and blend ratio. The relationships between residual bagging height (R-residual) obtained from the fabric bagging test and the mechanical characterization determined from the KES-FB system are presented and discussed. The work shows that it is possible to predict R-residual for knitted fabrics by using the standard KES-FB test and without performing fabric bagging fatigue tests.
