Physical properties of cotton yarns are affected by the characteristics of cotton fibers such as fineness, length, maturity and strength. This relationship has been worked out by means of multivariable regression and stepwise method for an open-end spun (NeC 20) cotton yarn. Moreover, with the help of linear programming, it was made possible to determine the percentage of different cottons in t...

pdates on yarn dyeing technology U were shared among the 83 participants in the AATCC symposium held at Southern Pines, N. C., in April. The symposium included 11 presentations, problem solving sessions and a discussion session on the challenges of package dyeing microfibers. Developed by AATCC‘s Committee on Yarn Dyeing Technology, the two-day program offered registrants ampleopportunity to co...

The filament winding process is a competitive performing technology for nuclear fuel cladding tubes due to its high automation. study of the yarn path on mandrel surface vital design and produce tube with desired mechanical properties, reducing manufacturing time costs. geodesic semi-geodesic trajectories are used create 3D in this paper. A optimization method based principle minimum potential ...

While tailoring a garment or a technical textile, relaxation processes of a knitted fabric after production have to be taken into account. Such dimensional changes can occur during a long time of dry relaxation, during wet relaxation, or during washing relaxation, the latter having the strongest infl uence on a fabric. Besides fabric construction and yarn material, the dimensions of a knitted f...

This paper reports the study on the development of a ‘decision support system (DSS)’ software for cotton fibre grading and selection, and its applications in the textile spinning industry. Two multi-criteria decision making approaches, namely ‘analytic hierarchy process (AHP)’ and ‘technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solutions (TOPSIS)’, have been amalgamated in the developed ...

This paper presents an automatic vision-based system for unsupervised detection and classification of spliced yarn joints. In the splice detection process, a competitive learning method based on an LBG algorithm is used. In the splice classification process, a dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to classify the extracted splice joint into one of three categories, based on the degree of...

In this paper, stainless steel core yarn was selected as a conductive yarn to produce conductive fabrics. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of twill and some diced woven fabrics with different metal densities were measured by free space measurement technique at horizontal polarization of the antenna. It was found that woven fabric samples shielded well in high frequency band, namely i...

The spinning limit for three different fibres (cotton, viscose rayon and polyester) on a Dref-3 friction spinning machine has been investigated. The change in yarn properties with progressive change in count has also been reported. The count range has been seen to be dependent on fibre type. As one progresses from very coarse to fine counts, the yarn tensile property remain fairly unaltered for...
