The object of the research is highly elastic knitted fabrics, and the subject is the method of their structural analysis. The aim of the work is to develop a new method for the analysis of the structure of elastomeric materials, which makes it possible to study the parameters of highly elastic knitted fabrics’ structure in an equilibrium and stress-strain state, taking into account the assessment of the nature of its changes during various types of influences on the material. The prospects and the possibility of applying the methods of direct observation of the material’s microstructure by means of optoelectronic microscopy and the existing technical solution for their implementation in analyzing the structure of highly elastic knitted fabrics are shown in the work. A method for determining the structural characteristics of knitted fabrics, including highly elastic ones, has been developed. The proposed technique provides a quantitative assessment of the parameters of an elastomeric knitted fabric’s structure, taking into account the actual material’s state, and its changes after external influence using the methods of mathematical morphology, morphological analysis and spectral analysis of the fabric’s microstructure images. The results of practical approbation of the proposed method suggest that its application is possible and sufficiently effective.
