...T. V. Mihailovic Purpose This paper aims to investigate the elasticity of hemp woven fabric under action of bending force, before and after washing treatment. Design/methodology/approach Bending elasticity was monitored in three different ways: through the value of bending modulus...

... materials and thus, connected deformations at low stresses are closely related to the elastic potential and influence fabric draping and fitting of the garment manufactured. For this purpose, the relationship between fabric elastic potential, as an important property under lower tensile load, and garment...
