Özet

In recent years, computer aided techniques have been widely used instead of traditional ones in order to save time, money and labor. In this paper, a new device and method based on image analysis were developed for the purpose of measuring drape and stiffness properties of the fabrics. The aim of the present study was to measure drape coefficient (%) and flexural rigidity (mg.cm) from single fabric sample with image analysis method. In the scope of the study, drape Coefficients of 42 different woven suiting fabrics, produced from 100% wool worsted yarns, were measured, by loth traditional and newly developed image analysis method. The ANOVA analysis results showed that there Were no statistically significant difference between two methods. Furthermore, two new parameters, based on image analysis measurements, were described to determine the fabric flexural rigidity: "Center-Edge Distance" and "Drape Angle". According to the regression models, flexural rigidity was explained over 91% by the use of "Center-Edge Distance" Or "Drape Angle".
