    This paper describes various mechanical properties of polyester braids under the tensile loading with an evaluation method proposed in our previous paper. The braid structure used is a Marukara braiding (2/2 braid, 16 bundles) which is a commercial shoe lace. The effects of sample length on tensile properties of braids were investigated and from these results it was clarified that the evaluated mechanical properties became a constant in the case that the sample length is longer than 100mm. In order to investigate the effects of braiding structure on the mechanical properties, the polyester braids with various cross sectional shapes are evaluated. As a result, it was clarified that the circular cross-sectional shape could be deformed easily, as compared with those of oval and rectangular sections. Deformation ability was improved without the increase in the modulus by inserting an axial fiber into braids. Also, it was confirmed that the braid has an apparent Poisson's ratio beyond 3 by the cross-sectional observation under different level of a tensile loading.

    Braids have been applied to various scenes in our life. Recently a shoelace that is used for wearing shoes is the most representative example of braids. The shoelace is fastened and unfastened repeatedly. The purpose of this study is to propose an evaluation method of properties for unfastening a braid knot. The proposed evaluation method is as follows; At first the tensile properties of four kinds of commercial braids were evaluated. Secondly, “single noose”are stretched with a tensile load of 50N or 100N to tighten up a knot. Then the test specimen was stretched by chucking the both edges. Some characteristic values related to unfastening the knot are defined from the load displacement curve. As a result, it was found that the characteristic values depend on a braiding structure, a cross sectional shape and an initial fastening load.
