Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to theoretically compute and predict the needle penetration force (NPF) in woven denim fabrics with twill 3/1 weave pattern on the basis of geometrical, physical, and mechanical properties of yarns and fabric, and characteristics of sewing needle. Design/methodology/approach – To predict the NPF by mathematical relations, the proposed models by Stylios and Xu (1995) and Lomov (1998) are extended for a twill woven structure. The NPF is calculated based on resistance forces due to yarn tensile elongation, yarn resistance to bending in the near of the sewing needle while the needle penetrates into the fabric, friction between weft and warp yarns, needle profile shape, and friction between sewing needle and yarns. In order to evaluate the obtained results, nine different denim fabric samples are produced, and five sewing needles with different sizes are used. The NPF is measured on the Instron tensile tester to simulate sewing process. Findings – The results show that there is a good relationship between the predicted and experimental values of the NPF (R2=0.831, MSE=0.079, and MAPE=9.51 percent). Moreover, it is found that the performance of developed model to predict the NPF for needle sizes of 80, 90, 100, and 110 (Nm) is better than that of needle size of 120 (Nm). Generally, the developed theoretical model can predict the NPF in fabrics with twill 3/1 weave pattern. Originality/value – The fabrics with twill weave pattern have a complicated structure than plain pattern. So, in this research work, the NPF of denim fabric with twill 3/1 weave pattern was theoretically predicted on the basis of yarn elongation, changing of yarn bent shape in the near of the sewing needle, and friction between warp and weft yarns. The NPF was measured in the successive cycle loading conditions similar to sewing machine process by using a designed and constructed instrument, which is mounted on the Instron tensile tester.
