Abstrakt: Banding and shear properties influence the drape and handle characteristics of woven fabrics. As bending and shear rigidities of woven fabrics generally have high degree of association, it is difficult to design a woven fabric having low bending rigidity and high shear rigidity or vice versa. This paper deals with the optimization of bending and shear rigidities of woven fabrics using the desirability function approach. Low stress mechanical properties such as bending rigidity and shear rigidity have been combined to represent 'the overall desirability' which is varying from 0 to 1. The overall desirability has been maximized against the target values of shear and bending rigidities. It was possible to attain overall desirability of 0.684 resulting from individual desirability of 0.662 and 0.707 for banding and shear rigidities, respectively. Experimental validation confirms that the applied method can be effectively used to optimize the woven fabric mechanical properties at low stress region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
