This paper addresses the bending behaviour of individual multi-filament yarns for use in textile forming analyses. Yarn specimens deform nonlinearly under their own weight in a cantilever configuration. A relation between the applied moment and the resulting curvature is established. Numerical simulations are performed to establish the contribution of shear rigidity to the deflection.

The fiber damage during manufacture, use, and service of textiles leads to fragmented generation. All (natural, regenerated, synthetic polymer sources) release fragments. Several textile structural parameters have been studied in association with release; however, there is a paucity work on the effect different types yarn structures release. This study elucidates impact key (rudimentary element...

In the manufacture of yarn, predicting the effect of changing production conditions is vital to reducing defects in the end product. This study compares, for the first time, non-linear regression and artificial neural network (ANN) models in predicting 10 yarn properties shaped by the influence of winding speed, quenching air temperature and/or quenching air speed during production. A multilaye...

Aiming at demonstrating the potential of unidirectional natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites in structural applications, textile flax yarn/thermoplastic polyester composites with variable fiber volume fractions have been manufactured by a filament-winding process followed by a vacuum-assisted compression molding process. The microstructure of the composites shows that the flax fibe...

The mechanical behavior of 3D multi-layered braided composite tubes was analyzed using a multi-scale modelling approach. Considering the braiding parameters and the fiber volume fraction of the composite tubes, firstly a unit-cell of the composites was determined based on the motion of yarn carriers and modeled using TEXGEN software. The unit-cell was imported into finite element software to ca...

Abstract Consumer choice and behavior are changing focusing on comfortable clothing along with fitting. Elastic yarn or fabric is necessary to achieve this comfortableness. By making elastic using material in production, cloths produced proper stretchability recovery. For that, core-spun was used, but due a lack of recovery performance, dual has been developed. Different elastane ratios, linear...
