Experimental evaluation of oscillation model for yarn pullout test of plain-woven fabrics based on force-balance method

In this paper, modeling of physical behavior of plain-woven fabrics under the condition of yarn pullout test is investigated. An analytical model called othe oscillation modelo is represented to estimate the required force of yarn pullout test for the plain-woven fabrics. The main idea of this model is based on a combined approach of friction in interlacing points and vibration of yarns during the pullout test. This oscillatory behavior is the outcome of the stick-slip motion, caused directly by contact interactions in interlacing points. In this study, the oscillation model is investigated experimentally for five different plain-woven fabrics. The model includes many physical parameters, which cannot be measured directly. These parameters have been estimated using the force-balance model, which is another analytical model, for predicting the internal mechanical parameters of the plain-woven fabrics in the same test. Experimental results showed that the oscillation model is a suitable approach for anticipating the behavior of woven fabrics in the yarn pullout test.
