Abstract

In the current literature, there is a lack of knowledge concerning which parameters are effective on relaxed slack plain-knitted conventional fabrics, although slack fabrics (i.e. fabrics with no occurrence of jamming) are commonly used for technical applications. Thus, the present series of works are conducted as further investigation on relaxed slack plain-knitted fabrics.
