Abstract:This paper investigates the mechanical properties of a blended yarn and its correlation with the characteristics of constituent yarns of different materials. Each yarn’s creep and stress relaxation tests are curves fitted to a six-element constitutive model. The results show that the higher the chemical fiber content in the yarn, the better the plastic properties. The experimental data fit the six-element model with 99% confidence. Compared with the commonly used viscoelastic Burgers and Ering models, the six-… Show more
