Model of the Yarn Twist Propagation in Compact Spinning with a Pneumatic Groove
Authors: Zou ZhuanYong, Zou ZhuanYong, Guo YuFeng, Zheng ShaoMing , Cheng Long-Di , Liu ShiRui
Compact spinning with a pneumatic groove utilises the transverse air force and mechanical force of the pneumatic groove to condense the fibre bundle in order to eliminate the spinning triangle. This paper analyses the twist resistance... more »
