Features and Characteristic Values of Fabric Compressional Curves

A compressional model of fabric was proposed and its validity was investigated precisely. The following conclusions were obtained. The compressional and recovering curves are considered to consist of three steps, respectively. Characteristic values proposed here are strongly related to features of the shapes of fabric compressional curves. According to the principal component analysis, the first and second principal components can explain almost all the information about fabric compressional property.
