Low-stress mechanical properties of fabrics are very important in many applications as well as in manufacturing process control. Discusses the importance and potential applications of an on-line mechanical property measurement system. In addition, the working principles of existing off- line fabric bending testers have been critically reviewed. It is suggested that the principle of a future on-line system to evaluate fabric bending behaviour should be based on the characterisation of fabric loop shapes.
