Spinning-in Fibres – a Quality Factor of Rotor Yarns
Authors: Trajković Dušan, Stamenkovic Miograd, Stepanovic Jovan, Radivojevic Dragan
The physical-mechanical properties of yarns, similar to those of other solid matters, are a function of their structure. Yarns are composed of fibres of different lengths and shapes, resulting in yarn spirals with varying radii, which... more »

Using Fuzzy Logic to Evaluate and Predict Chenille Yarn’s Shrinkage Behaviour
Authors: Çeven Erhan Kenan, Özdemir Özcan
In this study, a fuzzy logic system is used to determine the effects of yarn parameters on the boiling shrinkage behaviour of chenille yarns. Chenille yarns are produced with different yarn counts, pile lengths, and twist... more »
