In this part, two alternative methods for measuring shear properties of fabrics are described. One method is recording and consistsof an attachment to the Instron Tensile Tester. Complete load-deformation curves are obtained. The stress distribution in a fabric sample subjected to shear is analyzed and the results used to construct a non- recording shear tester for routine testing.
