Influence of the Straining Level on the Long-Lasting Relaxation Behaviour of Polyester Yarns
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2016, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
The main problem in the investigation and prediction of stress relaxation is the long time periods (not in seconds or minutes but in days or even months) of measurements for each kind of textile, especially in cases where users need to know the behaviour of the textile in prolonged time usage. Previously it was found that the rate of relaxation on the log scale can be described by two straight lines and the values of relaxation can be predicted over a long time by the rate of relaxation of the second linear dependency. The present paper shows investigations of 29.4 tex polyester yarn’s relaxation behaviour at different levels of elongation, i.e. at 3, 5, 7 and 10%. Investigations show that the place of the break-point of relaxation depends on the level of elongation – by increasing the level of elongation the time decreases till the break-point. This phenomenon is clearly visible at higher levels of elongation, while at low levels (3 and 5%) the difference is quite small. Using the data presented, it is possible to predict long-lasting relaxation without long-lasting experiments; only shorter than 1000 second tests are needed.

Study on the Change in Characteristics of Ring Yarn during Post Spinning and Yarn Dyeing Operations
The origin of yarn hairiness has been attributed to the escape of fibres from the twisting action from within the spinning triangle. The protruding fibres entangle themselves due to the rubbing of yarn with parts of the...
