Abstract
Tensile strength and tearing strength are discussed separately. A relation between cloth tensile strength, yarn strength and the parameters of cloth construction and yarn construction is suggested. Tearing strength is shown to be dependent mainly on the spacing and strength of the threads being torn and the force required to make them slip over the crossing threads. Experimental results are given to illustrate the validity of the relations derived from theoretical considerations.Keywords
