TY - JOUR TI - Identification of influence factors on physical-mechanical properties, using the principal component analysis, in selecting the textile fabrics for the clothing products AU - Hristian, Liliana AU - Ostafe, Maria Magdalena AU - Dulgheru, Ionut AU - Buhu, Liliana AU - Buhu, Adrian AU - Negru, Daniela T2 - Industria Textila AB - The paper aims to highlight the correlations between the physical-mechanical properties of woven fabrics made of combed wool yarn with different fibrous compositions, using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Based on the information on each fabric/assortment group, it is found that four main factors were extracted: durability, comfort, production price and fabric design. The extracted components explain 92% of the variability of the twelve initial inter-correlated variables, so that we can considerably reduce the complexity of the data configured using these components, with only 8% loss of information. This technique that follows the controlled reduction of the number of variables can be used subsequently for modelling the physical-mechanical properties of the fabrics and for selecting the most suitable fabrics to satisfy the requirements of a particular field of use DA - 2020/10/28/ PY - 2020 DO - 10.35530/IT.071.05.1754 DP - DOI.org (Crossref) VL - 71 IS - 05 SP - 438 EP - 445 SN - 12225347 UR - http://revistaindustriatextila.ro/images/2020/5/005%20LILIANA%20HRISTIAN_Industria%20Textila%205_2020.pdf Y2 - 2020/10/30/14:37:27 ER -
