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
