Although it is undeniable that the Poisson's effect on the behavior of a woven fabric is crucial, there have been relatively few papers devoted to this subject. In this study, a mechanical model for a woven fabric made of extensible yarns is developed to calculate the fabric Poisson's ratios. Theoretical results are compared with the available experimental data. A thorough examination on the influences of various mechanical properties of yarns and structural parameters of fabrics on the Poisson's ratios of a woven fabric is given. The prediction of Poisson's ratios in this paper will enable more rigorous studies on such important issues of fabric bending and draping behaviors. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
