Energy absorption in friction-based stab-proof fabrics and the puncture resistance of nanofiber membrane

Abstract

Stab performance is one of the most important mechanical characters for textile structure, especially for geo-textiles. This paper gives an energy approach to studying the effect of friction on the stab property of woven fabrics. Both results show that the stab performance enhances when the friction between warp and weft yarns increases. This paper concludes that nanofiber membrane is the best candidate for stab-proof application.
