Isotropy equilibrium of the double woven fabric with cotton face and wool reverse fibrous compositions

The equilibrium of the masses and the mechanical properties between the warp and the weft is a determining factor for the quality of the woven fabrics. When the fabric has a multi-layered structure and is designed for protective clothing, the uniform distribution of the elastical resistance acquires a paramount importance for the consumer properties. Isotropy in the sense of absolute equalising of the properties between the base and the weft evaluates the achieved optimum cohesion between the weaving threads and directs the weaving cycle settings. The possible variation of the ratio between the elastic modules of the warp and the weft, depending on the weft spacing and the warp tension, is the basic idea of this article. (paper)
