| Abstract [eng] |
In order to evaluate leather softness several different and difficult to compare methods are used. Thus the problem how to guarantee equivalent results of evaluation arises. The aim of the research is to develop a reliable and commonly acceptable leather softness evaluation method. The analysis of traditional and most recent leather softness evaluation methods has been done. The results of the trials are presented in the paper. It is summarised in the conclusions that in case no alternative physical characteristics showing leather softness exist, the most appropriate mean of defining leather softness may be the values of conditional elasticity in percentage under certain load values. It is also necessary to develop a general methodology to define conditional elasticity which could also be used for the evaluation of leather softness reached by the method of spherical deformation. Leather elasticity evaluation method developed by the authors is proposed to be used. |
