Abstract
This paper examines the relationship of structural geometry to the abrasion-resistance of textile fabrics. It is pointed out that the durability of a fabric can be significantly altered by modifying its structural design, without change in the fiber used in its manufacture. Earlier textile studies and heretofore unpublished Army test reports provide illustrations of the relation ship between fabric geometry and durability. On the basis of this material, it is believed that lower rates of attrition can best be obtained by increasing the geometric area of contact between fabric and abradant. At the same time, fabric compliance and yarn mobility must be preserved at points of contact between the two rubbing surfaces. Thicker fabrics possessing minimum rates of attrition, consistent with other cloth requirements, will provide optimum durability for fatigue garments.
