Fatigue Failure of Textile Fibres

Fatigue behaviour of fibres is an important property and is often poorly understood. The action of fatigue in fibres and textiles plays a key role in product performance. Introductory chapters provide the basic principles of fatigue and descriptions of the main types of fatigue in textile fibres, such as tensile and flex fatigue. The remainder of the book concentrates on the factors that affect fatigue life; topics include the effect of structure and property on fatigue and environmental aspects of fatigue. An authoritative review, suitable for textile technologists, fibre scientists, textile engineers and those in academia.
