Modeling Mechanical Behavior of Fabric and Warp Yarn During Loom Stops

摘要

This paper proposes a model for calculating relaxation behavior after dynamic loading of fabric and of warp yarns. The model is based on fitting the parameters of an extended nonlinear Maxwell model to experimental data using nonlinear regression. Combining the models for fabric and warp yarns can yield the viscoelastic behavior of the fabric-yarn combination, as well as the cloth fell displacement during the relaxation period.
