The effects of spinning tension and spindle speed in fiber migration are studied and discussed. By using a novel experimental technique, staple yarns were prepared at several widely different levels of spindle speed, while holding the tension constant, and at several widely different levels of spinning tension, while holding the speed constant. By using these samples, the effect of spindle speed and spinning tension on the migratory behavior of fibers in staple yarns was studied. It was found that the migration behavior of fibers depends to a large extent upon their squared mean radial position in the yarn cross section. The two processing variables considered are shown to have a significant influence on the rate of fiber migration. The results are analyzed in terms of the buckling strains in a migrating fiber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
