TY - JOUR TI - Application of an ancient Chinese algorithm to stab performance of woven fabrics AU - Wang Ping AU - He Chun-Hui AU - Zhang Yan AU - Liu Fu-Juan AU - Zhao Zhu-Xin JN - Thermal Science PY - 2016 VL - 20 IS - 3 SP - 819 EP - 822 PT - Article AB - Stab damage is a common failure mode for textile products, especially for the geotextiles and geotextile-related products which are widely used in the road, airport, pipeline, and so on. In this paper, an ancient Chinese algorithm is applied to predict the stab area and stab energy of woven fabrics under stabbing load according to the load-displacement performance of the single yarn. This research proposes a novel method to analyze the stab property of the textile products.
