Sažetak
The design, production, and analysis of seven samples of plain double-knit fabrics, tailored for underwear and lightweight garments, employing 20 tex yarns were studied. The primary yarn is made of cotton that was spun using the ring spinning process. Three viscose yarn samples were created, along with three modal yarn samples, using ring spinning, rotor spinning, and air-jet spinning processes. The basic characteristics of the tensile properties of yarns and the parameters of the knitted fabric structure that are significant for the tensile properties of knitted fabrics are listed. Samples of strip knit fabric were elongated until they broke along the courses and wales. The force-stretch diagram highlights four key points that are essential for the partial analysis of the tensile properties of knitted fabrics, which include: 1. end of elastic deformation of the knitted fabric, 2. vertex of the curve, 3. beginning of plastic deformation of the knitted fabric and 4. point of maximum measured tensile force or break point of the fabric. The calculations for both partial and total work during the stretching of the knitted fabric until its breaking point were conducted based on the aforementioned points.
