Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to analyze bending stiffness of fabric by CHES-FY tester, which is compared with the existed methods to bending property of Cantilever and Heart Loop Test. Fabrics with obviously different softness and stiffness are selected, where the corresponding indexes of the three systems are featured as bending slope, bending work, bending maximum force, bending length, bending height. By analyzing the correlation of the above test results, it shows that the test result of the softness by CHES - FY system has a strong correlation with Cantilever and Heart Loop Test, the repeated analysis of the test results shows that CHES - FY system for fabric softness test has extensive applicability.
