Abstract

In this study, denim fabrics woven 3/1 Z twill with different constructions were performed dynamic seam fatigue tests. Determination of seam openings with dynamic seam fatigue test were made according to ASTM D4033-92 using Dynamic Seam Fatigue Tester. As a result; seam openings of samples containing elastane 2-3% were lower than 100% cotton sample. It has been obtained that seam openings in weft direction of the samples containing elastane were lower than seam openings in warp direction. But seam openings in weft direction of the 100% cotton sample were higher than seam openings in warp direction. Besides when number of strokes increases, seam openings increase, too.
