| Abstract | ||
| The plain weave can be extended in the warp, weft or both directions in order to derive new weaves. Frameworks to evaluate the plain weave derivatives properties were definitive and couldn’t perfectly cover changing into fabric properties due to extension of floated threads in a one direction. This paper empirically investigated tensile properties, tearing and fabric thickness that were applied on woven experimental polyester samples varying in the direction of rib weave, weave type and weft densities. The significant effects of independent on tested properties were concluded by the 3d analysis of variance test. Breaking strength and elongation in of rib weaves were affected by the weave factor and the number of plain intersection. The warp breaking strength, weft breaking elongation, warp tear strength and thickness rates of horizontal ribs were significantly increased compared with vertical ribs. On the contrary the weft breaking strength, warp breaking elongation, weft tear strength rates of vertical ribs were significantly increased compared with horizontal ribs. | ||
