Shell Buckling Behavior of Fused Composite Worsted Fabrics

The aim of this paper is investigation of some important parameters in shell buckling of fused interlining worsted fabric with different weight and considering five different relative orientation angles (0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90°) according to the machine direction of non-woven fusible interlining and a face fabric. The formability of the prepared fused fabric composite based on shell buckling curves and Lindbergʹs hypothesis is also reported. The shell buckling compression behavior of fused fabric composite is investigated using a special corrugated clamp based to Dahlbergʹs test method. The result show that with increasing the interlining relative orientation angle, buckling loads and buckling energy parameters decrease, whereas, hysteresis and compression remaining increase. The fused fabric composites exhibit the highest formability at 67.5° relative orientation angle. The results show that at 0° relative orientation angle, the lowest buckling hysteresis, compressibility and compression remaining are obtained.
