In order to characterize cotton fiber length distribution, the probability density function with parameters were used to describe the fiber length frequency histograms. In this paper, four cotton fiber samples (bale, carded sliver, combed sliver and finisher sliver) were selected, and the fiber histograms by weight were measured by USTER AFIS Pro. Two- and three-component mixed Weibull distributions were adopted by us to fit these histograms, and the relevant fiber length measures were calculated. The results showed that mixed model could well describe the entire fiber length distribution of different cotton fiber samples, and two-component mixed Weibull distribution, rather than three-component one, fitted these histograms better.

Abstract. The non-parameter kernel estimation has become a dramatic method on fitting the distribution density function of cotton fiber length in theoretical research on fiber length. It can get a differentiable and integrable density function of cotton length distribution, and make the probability approach more effective on analysis and prediction of yarn performance. But, due to the requirements of the fitting smoothness, there is a bias between calculational index and measured value, especially to the short fiber content. This research uses the power function to fit the distribution of short fibers, then according to the principle of mixed distribution, revises the density function gotten by kernel estimation method, and gives a precise estimation of density function. The revised algorithm is more exact to fit the density function of fiber length. This approach is a new way to study the fiber length distribution and its effect on yarn properties both theoretically and practically.

In this study the normality of the cotton fiber length number distribution and weight distribution are tested by using the Chi-2 statistic test. Good correlations between the cotton fiber length distribution by weight and the normal distribution with the same mean and standard deviation are obtained. This test further shows that length distribution by numbers cannot be characterized by normal law. Then, the staple diagram and the fibrogram by weight are mathematically generated from a normal fiber length distribution. After that, mathematical models relating the most common length parameters to the mean length and the coefficient of variation are established by solving the staple diagram and the fibrogram equations. Finally, the length parameters of binary blends are studied and their variations in terms of the components of the blend are shown. These variations are nonlinear for most of the blend length parameters in contrast to other studies and models usually used by the spinners that suppose that the blend characteristics and particularly length parameters are linear to the components ratios.

Yarn Structure

Yarn strength is composed of the total contributions made by all breaking and slipping fibers which are determined by critical slipping length lc. Though the definition of lc has been the focus of many research projects, it still remains unsolved. In this study, idealized assumptions were made on yarn structure, and lc was then estimated. At the same time, the actual contributions that breaking fibers and slipping fibers make to yarn strength were recalculated based on an idealized yarn structure, which was analyzed with the conditional probability method according to fiber length distribution. Then, yarn strength was computed by simulating random fiber arrangement in the yarn. It could be seen from calculated results that the critical slipping length declines as yarn twist multiplier increases. Meanwhile, as the twist multiplier increases, the calculated yarn strength rises to the highest point and then declines, which is in agreement with traditional spinning theory. Thus, the calculation of yarn strength based on critical slipping length could reflect the yarn breaking mechanism with a change in the yarn twist multiplier, and could be applied for further prediction of yarn strength.
