Viscoelastic properties in textiles lead to time-dependent behavior such as creep. Many applications of technical textiles such as parachutes, tents, balloons, incomat, escape chutes, inflatable boats, air bags and filters are subjected to constant loading conditions. The seam is especially useful in such textiles which affects the fabric time dependent behavior because of stress concentration in seam area. Therefore, only analyzing viscoelastic behavior of fabric in a seamed structure is not enough and it is necessary to analyze the viscoelastic behavior of sewn seamed fabric. Hence, considering the effect of different seam characteristics such as type of sewing thread, type of seam, stitch and etc. is important. The aim of this research is therefore to study the creep behavior of seamed fabrics with different seam characteristics using eleven experiments by means of experimental design. Variables are three types of seams (SS, LS and BS), two types of stitches (301 lockstitch and 401 chain stitch), three levels of stitch density (4, 8 and 12 stitch per inch (SPI)) as well as three kinds of sewing thread including polyester/cotton, polyester and metallic thread that sewn with three levels of sewing thread tension (low, medium and high). The samples were tested under constant load then creep compliance was calculated for all samples. In addition, constants of viscoelastic model were calculated for each sample by using successive residual method. The results indicate the possibility of describing viscoelastic behavior of seamed fabric by using Burgers model, a subset of the generalized model. In the following, instantaneous strain, viscose strain and retarded strain in samples were analyzed. The results show that instantaneous elastic behavior in viscoelastic materials is highly dependent on the seam characteristics. Changing the sewing density leads to the maximum instantaneous deformation resistance in the stitch density of 8 SPI. Increase or decrease of sewing density results to lower instantaneous deformation resistance. The same trend would be extended for thread tension parameter, so that the medium tension makes the most instantaneous deformation resistance. In addition, changing the sewing thread type changes the instantaneous deformation resistance so that sewn seam with metallic thread shows the most resistance. There is no difference in elastic resistance of stitch types 301 and 401 but seam type is very effective. Time duration of stress reduction to 36.8% of initial stress, when removing load, is significantly dependent on seam characteristics. The longest time is subjected to 8 SPI and also medium thread tension. Furthermore, probability of viscose deformation is affected by sewing thread, stitch and seam type. The results also indicate that seam with 8 SPI makes the most time duration of retarded strain recovery. eam with 401 stitch makes more retarded strain and less time duration for stress reduction than 301 stitch. Moreover, seam efficiency and seam slippage were calculated for all samples. Keywords: seamed fabric, viscoelasticity, successive residual method, creep compliance.
