Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for comfort, ease of movement, and shape retention in sportswear and outdoor clothing. In this context, studies aiming to understand the impact of fabric elasticity on performance and comfort have gained importance. This study investigates the relationship between hysteresis in force-elongation graph and fabric deformations. To achieve this, the effects of applied force, number of loading cycles, effect of elastic yarn, and washing processes were systematically analyzed. These findings underscore a strong and quantifiable link between hysteresis and fabric elasticity, offering a novel perspective for developing more resilient textiles. By providing a deeper understanding of how fabrics respond to repetitive forces, this research advances fabric engineering and the design of durable garments, presenting practical implications for textile manufacturing and quality assessment processes. Ultimately, the study proposes a practical alternative to traditional long-duration tests, a time-efficient method for assessing fabric elasticity.
