It is one of the important properties that determine fabric performance in many applications. A system used to measure fabric compressional characteristics, online is pro posed in this paper. A controllable nip formed by a pair of rollers is employed to apply compressional deformation to a moving fabric while the compression force and displacement are continuously recorded. The influence of various system parameters on the sensitivity of the system is analyzed. An incremental differential algorithm is used to calculate the pressure- displacement relationship from the measured force-displacement data from the online system. A number of woven and nonwoven fabrics are evaluated using the online measurement system as well as other commercially available fabric compression testers, and compressional char acteristics obtained from the online measurement system compare well with the same param eters measured by the other compressional testers.}, number={2}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Huang, WS and Ghosh, TK}, year={2002}, month={Feb}, pages={103–112} }
 @article{huang_ghosh_1999, title={Online measurement of fabric mechanical properties: Compressional behavior}, DOI={10.1109/texcon.1999.766185}, abstractNote={Compressional behavior of fabrics is important in most end uses. The traditional compression testers such as KESF (Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics) and FAST (Fabric Assurance by Simple Testing) systems are used to perform offline static measurements. The principle of online measurement of compressional behavior being developed is based on the analysis of fabric deformation while the fabric moves through a nip formed by a pair of rollers, one of which is controlled by a motor and is attached to a load cell. The specimen being tested is moved continuously through the measurement system, while it is deformed in compression at a constant rate in the nip area. The load-displacement relation of the fabric is then obtained as a function of time. Assuming a stepwise anisotropic behavior in the thickness direction, the fabric stress-strain relation in compression is obtained.}, number={1999}, journal={IEEE ...
