Abstract

In this research the effect of surface layer knit pattern, and spacer yarn's inclination angle on the compression behavior of weft- knitted spacer fabrics made for cushioning applications have been investigated. The results reveal that fabric's compression resistance increases by increasing the spacer yarn's inclination angle as well as increasing the number of tuck stitches in successive courses in the surface layer. Moreover, by increasing the spacer yarn's inclination angle, the fabric's resilience, thickness change, and thickness recovery decrease, while the absorbed energy and dissipated compression energy increases. Furthermore, by increasing the number of tuck stitches in successive courses in the surface layer, the fabric's resilience as well as relative compressibility decreases, whilst the absorbed energy and dissipated compression energy increases. Eventually, spacer fabrics consist of knit stitches on their surface layers are more appropriate for cushioning applications due to higher energy absorption, and better resiliency and relative compressibility.

摘要

在这项研究中，研究了表层针织图案和间隔纱的倾角对用于缓冲应用的纬编间隔织物的压缩行为的影响。结果表明，通过增加间隔纱的倾斜角以及增加表层中连续横列的集圈针数，织物的抗压性增加。此外，通过增加间隔纱的倾角，织物的回弹力、厚度变化和厚度恢复减少，而吸收能量和耗散压缩能量增加。此外，通过增加表层连续横列中的集圈针迹数量，织物的弹性和相对压缩性会降低，同时吸收的能量和耗散的压缩能量增加。最终，由于更高的能量吸收、更好的回弹性和相对可压缩性，由其表面层上的针织针迹组成的间隔织物更适合用于缓冲应用。
