At impact velocities around the V50 velocity for each clamped fabric shape, there is a critical fabric size beyond which the projectile residual kinetic energy shows a sharp jump in magnitude, which continues to grow with increasing fabric sizes.
Regardless of fabric size, all impacts show sensitivity to the precise projectile impact location with yarn-based impacts generally resulting in greater energy dissipations than gap-based impacts.
Thickness and weight of specimen were influenced by density change caused by reducing and increasing fabric size.
This paper proposed an appropriate knit structure and arrangement approach in consideration of fabric size and stretch properties of high stretch knitted fabric and correlation with clothing pressure.
Then fabric size including weight and thickness, stretch properties (stretch, elastic recovery), and clothing pressure were then measured, to analyze their interrelation.
This study facilitates an effective design and development of various high stretch compression products by analyzing fabric size, stretch properties, and clothing pressure for various knit structures.
Dimensional change in course-wise had a greater effect on clothing pressure than in wale-wise in the correlation among fabric size, stretch properties and clothing pressure.

Authors analyzed fabric size (weight and thickness), stretch properties (stretch, elastic recovery), and clothing pressure of various knit structures for the purpose of examining the properties of high stretch knitted fabric.
The dimensional change in course-wise had more effect on clothing pressure than in wale-wise for the correlation among fabric size, stretch properties and clothing pressure; consequently, a smaller size course-wise resulted in higher clothing pressure.
