An invesitigation into the factors involved in preparation and weaving affecting the length and width of woven cloth. Effect of warping and weaving tensions, warp control devices, and relaxation processes on warp and weft modular length and thread spacings. The influence of beat-up force and cloth-fell distance.

So far the theoretical approach to weaving resistance and fabric
geometry and the factors affecting it have been made for such weaves
as plain, hop-sack and warp and weft faced ribs. In this work
theoretical models were adopted to determine the fabric geometry and
weaving resistance. Experimental and theoretical findings are in
agreement. The trends of the effects on values of weaving resistance
of such factors as warp elastic constant, weft tension, warp tension,
the coefficient of friction of yarn against. yarn agree with the trends
obtained by other workers by showing that weaving resistance increases
with these factors. The results-also show that-the fabric geometry
depends on warp and weft tension at-the moment of beat-up. Additionally,
the change of fabric geometry across the fabric, the effect of two
different let-off mechanisms,, Hattersley and WIRA/Poole, and the beaming
CO
processes on weaving resistance and fabric geometry were investigated.
It was found that the fabric width-depends on the dynamics of fabric
formation before and at the moment of beat-up. / Wool Industries Research Association
