Testing equipment for experimental analysis of mechanical properties of textile materials

The regular equipment for testing of textile materials does not facilitate the elongation of threads at a frequency corresponding to the frequency of loading during technological process, and it does not allow for clamping a thread of the corresponding length. In the Technical University Liberec there has been built a testing equipment for experimental analysis of deformation characteristics of textile materials during cyclical loading at a wide range of frequencies (VibTex), and there has been devised the methodology for realisation of experimental measuring and processing of the measured data. The submitted paper explains this experimental equipment for simulation of thread loading, which has been created in the Technical University Liberec for analysis of behaviour of textile materials at high loading frequencies.
