Abstract

In this work, a simple apparatus for measuring wrinkle resistance (non orientec crease resistance) of fabrics is constructed. By using a geometrical model of a cylindrical Specimen of fabric, a simple theoretical approach is attempted to relate the wrinkle resistance to the crease recovery angle of fabrics. A wide range of apparel woven fabrics were tested on both the wrinkle resistance apparatus established by the author and the Shirley crease recovery tester. An experimental verification for the theoretical work has been made which gives a good fit.
