Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a unique approach to investigate the wrinkle force of textile structures in a cylindrical model.

Design/methodology/approach – In this research, an apparatus was designed and constructed in order to investigate the torsional and wrinkle behavior of textile structures in a cylindrical model under a different rotational level using data acquisition and micro-controller systems.

Findings – In the light of research results, the fiber and fabric type, fabric physical and mechanical properties and imposed rotational level significantly contributed to wrinkle characteristics of worsted fabrics. It was noticed that with increase of rotational level, the wrinkle force, and energy increased along weft and warp directions. Wrinkle characteristics along warp direction exhibited greater values than in weft direction.

Originality/value – The study is aimed at determining wrinkle behavior of worsted fabrics under the combined influences of compression and torsional strains.
