Abstract :
The aim of this study is to present a method to predict the geometrical parameters of relaxed fabrics using energy method. For this purpose, the potential energy of on-loom state of fabric is calculated and minimized to achieve theoretically the fully relaxed state. Tensile, bending and compression deformations of yarns are considered to obtain total strain energy of the unit-cell. Peirce’s geometric model for woven fabrics is used in order to find geometrical equations. The predictions are compared with experimental data and the results are discussed.
