A most significant correlation between "easy stretch" (∈∞) and break extension (∈ b) has been observed for cotton woven fabrics, also consistent with measurements on knitted fabrics. Assuming that the reason for this correlation is an over-all similarity of the stress-strain curves, a master curve equation is derived, whose "individual" parameter is settled by force and extension at break.
