8.3 Results of the tensile strength test
It can be seen in Fig. 8.3 that the sample cut in the weft direction for denim Lycra did
not break after the application of force but broke in the warp direction. Texas jeans
(soft) were the least affected fabric after the application of force, while Texas jeans
(hard) broke in both direction.
