The problem of a rotating transported thread or yarn occurs in textile applications such as high-speed spinning and unwinding from a cylindrical package. In case of low tension the yarn is known to buckle and fly out under the action of centrifugal forces. The motion initially appears fixed when viewed from a rotating coordinate frame and is known as ballooning (see [1], which also contains ref...

ON THE MECHANICS OF TWIST INSERTION by ALY H. M. EL-SHIEKH Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering Fibers and Polymers Division, on May 14, 1965 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Science in Mechanical Engineering This investigation is directed toward an improved understanding of the mechanisms and actions taking place in the textile twisting pr...

Modeling of yarn and fiber properties has been a popular topic in the field of textile engineering in recent decades. The common method for fitting models has been to use classical regression analysis, based on the assumptions of data crispness and deterministic relations among variables. However, in modeling practical systems such as cotton spinning, the above assumptions may not hold true. Pr...

Though it is vital to estimate infiltration as one of the key factors in effective management of water resources, only few studies have been carried out either to determine the infiltration or to compare the performance of infiltration models for coarse textured soils. Thus, the present study was conducted to accomplish two objectives. First to estimate the Horton’s infiltration model parameter...

Pile loop knitted scaffold has attracted attention for being used as a three dimensional (3D) biocompatible material particularly the application of myocardial tissue engineering. In this research, nonintermingled, textured polyethylene terephthalate (PET) multifilament yarn with filament count 48 was producing pile knit structure to investigate if could provide an appropriate microenvironment ...

With the deep development and application of Internet technology, data need to be processed more and more, when dealing with large amounts of data. Spark is a versatile high-performance and parallel computing framework, which can be applied to data mining. This paper is based on the parallelization of platforms’ K-means algorithm, by building a YARN cluster environment and making experiments to...

Accurate predictions of the amount and the rate of long- term deformation of reinforced soils under an applied load are important key issue in geotechnical engineering, in which the deformation of soil develops with time at a state of constant effective stress. Since geosynthetic is generally considered creep sensitive therefore, evaluation of creep behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS...

Internal geometry of a textile reinforcement is an important factor of the reinforcement performance during the composite manufacturing and service life. In this article, generalized geometrical models of structural stitching loops are presented for the sewing, tufting, and dual-needle stitching methods. The term 'structural' presumes here that the stitching yarn does not only consolidate the p...
