Fabric Wizard: Stretch & Shear Properties

The Stretch & Shear Properties page provides you with the possibility to perform the stretch & shear test, obtain raw measurement data and perform the calculation of Stretch property.

  • ClosedRest Length

    The Rest Length field allows you to define the initial length of specimen part which will be actually elongated during the stretch test. In other words, the Rest Length field provides you with the distance between clamping grips in the initial state, prior to measurement.

    The Rest Length property is further utilized through the Stretch analysis and calculation.

  • ClosedWidth

    The Width field provides you with the possibility to specify the width of the tested specimen.

  • ClosedMeasurement Data (Stretch & Shear)

    The Measurement Data tables provide you with tables containing raw measurement data for Stretch (in Warp and Weft direction) and Shear.

    Each Measurement Data table provides you with two columns containing measured Force and Elongation values. The Force appears using Newton units; the Elongation appears using cm units. Every row in the table provides you with values of a single measured Force/Elongation pair.

     

    Field

    Description

    This button is available above the measurement data table. This button is enabled only when the connection to the Mark-10 Tension Meter is established. This button runs the automated measurement cycle. Once the measurement cycle is performed, the corresponding measurement data table is filled with the actual measurement results.

    This button allows you to export raw measurement data from an external CSV file. Once the export is performed, the corresponding measurement data table is filled with the actual exported results.

     

  • ClosedPhysical Properties

    Stretch (Warp and Weft) and Shear fields provide you with values of corresponding physical properties calculated based on raw measurement data appearing within measurement data tables. The calculation of physical properties is performed every time when the content of the measurement data tables is updated in the result of automated fabric measurement cycle, raw data import or manual typing.

    The calculated value is displayed in the Stretch Warp, Stretch Weft and Shear fields using grf/cm units. The Stretch and Shear fields are accompanied with the check box allowing you to override the automatically calculated value.
