TX4203 Fabric Quality Analysis Syllabus:

TX4203 Fabric Quality Analysis Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES

To make the students understand
 Nature of fabric failure
 Aanalyzing low stress mechanical and comfort properties
 Fabric appearance and their properties

UNIT I MECHANICS OF FABRIC FAILURE

Mode of fabric failure – tensile, tear, abrasion, slippage, bursting and fatigue; influence of fibre and yarn characteristics, and fabric structure on fabric failure

UNIT II LOW STRESS MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

Analysis and interpretation of low stress mechanical properties measured using Kawabata Evaluation System – tensile, compression, bending, shear and buckling deformation; influence of low stress mechanical properties of fabrics on fabric handle, tailorability and sewability

UNIT III COMFORT PROPERTIES

Influence of fibre and yarn characteristics, and fabric structure on air permeability, water vapour permeability, resistance to penetration of liquid water, resistance to flow of heat; static electricity measurement and control; influence on comfort properties

UNIT IV FABRIC APPEARANCE AND OTHER PROPERTIES

Role of drape, formability, crease recovery, wrinkle recovery, pilling resistance, dimensional stability on fabric appearance, spirality; influence of fibre and yarn characteristics, and fabric structure on the above fabric properties

UNIT V PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES OF TECHNICAL TEXTILES

Influence of fibre and yarn characteristics, and fabric structure on flame resistance, impact resistance, absorbency, water resistance, filtration efficiency, anti microbial properties, UV Protection

TOTAL: 30 PERIODS
