| Abstract: | An attempt has been made to investigate as well as to gain an insight on
the non-dimensional parameters such as Uc, Uw, Us and Ur of the knitted fabrics produced on a
double jersey flat bed machine using acrylic yarn. Fabric samples have been
prepared by varying the stitch cam setting, take down load and yarn count in a
5.5 gauge flat bed knitting machine and then subjected to relaxation treatment
by using conventional technique as well as mechanical energy of ultrasonic waves
for maximum shrinkage. It is observed that this new relaxation technique
produces similar dimensional and non-dimensional parameters of the fabric as
obtained with the conventional relaxation treatments. The values of the four
non-dimensional parameters such as Uc, Uw, Us and Ur follow a specific trend and these values
are found to be comparable with the experimental values obtained by previous
workers for fabrics knitted in circular knitting machine. Regression analyses
have been made and regression equations are generated to study the effect of
loop length on courses and wales (ribs) per cm at different stages of
relaxation. |
