In previous paper, a biaxial tensile deformation theory was developed of a plain tricot fabric, a fundamental type for all two-bar tricot fabrics, .
In the present paper, this theory is expanded and more generalized to calculate the properties of two-bar tricot fabrics. The structure of the model proposed for the plain tricot fabric is modified to make it adaptable to more complicated structure.
When the number of wale spacings crossed by underlapping becomes large or when spun yarn is used, the original theory becomes more error-prone. To make the theory more precise, the compressive property of yarn should be introduced for calculation in stretching-effective region. In the new theory, a simple model where yarn is wound around a cylinder is used for the structure of the crossover region.
Finally, some theoretical calculations have been done for various factors such as the tensile and the frictional properties of yarn, structural constants, and the number of wale spacings crossed by underlapping.
