Özet

The aim of this study is to investigate the cross-sectional shape and size variation of the yarn in fabric depending on the structural parameters of fabric. For this reason, the dimensions of the yarns that are in the different regions of the weave unit have been determined by achieving the cross-sectional images of the fabrics, which were woven with different weave types and at different weft settings. The variation in the cross-section of the yarn has been evaluated by using the flattening ratio. Consequently, it has been observed that the structural factors which determine the geometry of the fabric, such as weave type and setting, affect the cross-sectional properties of the yarn along the yarn path.
