One Machine

High speed yarn tensile testing machines increase production of yarn tensile data, but no comparisons with data from older, slow speed testing machines have been successful in determining whether these machines produce the same results. This work compares yarn tenacity data from three different machines. A family of five ring spun yarn sizes, each with five different twist factors, covers the entire range of spinning parameters for staple fibers. A new method used to analyze yarn data to determine the number of broken fibers and the effective fiber length acting in each yarn converts yarn tenacity into tenacity per broken fiber per effective fiber length. Converted yarn data from each machine show the effects of the time-to-break on tenacity and how the single strand yarn tensile test differs from one machine to another and with skein tensile test results.

The Impact

The impact of card cylinder speed, card production rate and draw frame doubling on cotton yarn quality parameters was investigated by using the Box-Behnken experimental design. It was found that yarn tenacity, elongation and hairiness increase by increasing the number of draw frame doubling up to a certain level and then decrease by further increase in doubling. Yarn unevenness increased by increasing card production rate and total yarn imperfections increased by decreasing card cylinder speed and increasing card production rate.

An agent-aided system (AAS) for improving comprehensive properties of ring spun yarns with the aid of viscosity and surface tension of the agent is reported in this paper. The mechanism of the humidification and friction process of the AAS was investigated, and related experiments were also carried out to verify the mechanism of analysis. The results confirm that the AAS can attach the fiber ends protruding out of a yarn body on the yarn surface and assist in twisting the fiber ends back into the interior of the yarn body, resulting in a significant reduction of the modified ring spun yarn hairiness. Moreover, the yarn hairiness is prominently reduced after the winding process. The experimental results also show that a speed ratio of 1.3 between the rotating speed of the cylinder and the output speed of the yarn leads to the greatest extent of harmful hairiness reduction (34%), which also corresponds to optimal modified yarn tenacity. Meanwhile, the modified ring spun yarns show a tight and smooth appearance, and the yarn evenness has no deterioration. In addition, the AAS is applicable to both cotton and viscose yarns with different yarn counts. Therefore, the AAS can potentially be used to reduce yarn hairiness for ring spun yarns and enhance the quality of ring spun yarns in the textile industry.

Fabric Production

Yarn quality influences both fabric production processes efficiency and export market. One method used to gauge competitiveness of an industry is to study its product quality. The aim of this research work is to evaluate the quality of Ethiopian textile spinning mills’ 100% cotton carded ring spun yarns in terms of its evenness (coefficient of mass variation, CVm), imperfections (thick and thin places, neps), and tensile properties with USTER Statistics 2018. Five spinning mills (B3, A0, A2, A4, and K3) of 15N, 20Ne, 25Ne, 30Ne, 35Ne, and 40Ne nominal yarn counts have been selected for the study. The yarn evenness and imperfections were measured using USTER tester 5 and tensile using a STATIMAT tester. The USTER statistical results showed 20.3Ne (mill B3), 32Ne (mill A4), and 36.2Ne (mill A2) had better overall quality, respectively. It was observed that most selected spinning mills had low evenness, imperfections, yarn strength, and good yarn elongation. Tensile properties of A2 (32.85Ne and 36.2Ne) had fallen under 5% USTER statistics percentile which indicates excellent yarn strength. Generally, from studied mills, it was seen that 61.5% of cotton yarn CVm and thin places falls at above 95% and 15% of yarn tenacity falls at ≤5% of Uster statistical percentile.

Abstract Techniques for testing tire-reinforcing materials in the laboratory under simulated operating conditions of high speed and high temperature are presented. The effects of these conditions on breaking strength and breaking energy of rayon, nylon, polyester, and fiber glass are compared. The tests include an individual cord impact test, and three dynamic tire tests using a pendulum, a ballistic plunger, and a resiliometer bruise. The value of each test is weighed against test results obtained from conventional testing methods and tire field performance based on vehicle fleet testing. A comparison is shown between the conventional slow speed tests, high speed tests and vehicle tests and shows that the high speed laboratory tests give a better correlation with tire bruise failures.

Nozzle Structure

Vortex spinning, which adopts high speed airflow to insert twist into the yarn, is one of the most promising technological innovations in the textile industry. In vortex spinning, the dynamic behavior of the fiber inside the nozzle, which involves fiber-airflow interaction and fiber-wall contact, plays an important role in the twist insertion process. This paper investigates the airflow characteristics and the fiber dynamic behavior inside the vortex spinning nozzle via a two-dimensional numerical model with the fiber-airflow interaction and fiber-wall contact included. The fiber is assumed to be isotropic, elastic material. The airflow inside the nozzle is assumed to be turbulent, viscous and incompressible. The numerical results show that two vortices with momentarily changed sizes are created upstream of the jet orifice outlets. The imbalance of the pressure around the fiber causes the fiber to move and deform. The trailing end of the fiber rotates with wave shape within the nozzle chamber for several periods to insert twist into the yarn. Based on the model, the effects of three nozzle structure parameters – the jet orifice angle, jet orifice diameter, distance between the nozzle inlet and the hollow spindle, on the dynamic behavior of the fiber, and in turn, the yarn structure and tensile property are investigated. The results show that the appropriate jet orifice angle for obtaining the best yarn tenacity is 70°. The optimal jet orifice diameter is 0.4 mm. The spun yarn has the highest tenacity when the distance between the nozzle inlet and the hollow spindle is 14 mm.

High-speed tensile tests were carried out to investigate strain rate effect on both yield stress and failure strain using ASTM D1822 Type-S specimens made of polycarbonate. Based on test results, parameters for a material model suitable for polymers are determined, and numerical analysis is carried out to simulate test results. The material model is used to simulate tensile test using a dog-bone specimen and Charpy test other than the tensile test of Type-S specimens. It is found that good predictions can be obtained when rate dependent material parameters are used. Further, the high-speed tensile test considered in the present study is suitable for selection of parameters for material modeling of polymers for impact analysis.
