This paper presents an study of nonwoven fabric irregularity. The method of two- dimensional random fields has been used to investigate longitudinal, transverse, and area irregularities, and micro-and macro-scale irregularities are determined. The effects of inherent random irregularity and transverse nonhomogeneity are described, and a method for separating these effects is suggested. Computer-aided simulation is used to verify and illustrate algorithms for the nonhomogeneous and irregularity analysis as applied to nonwovens. The influence of an average cross-profile of random field irreg- ularities on the coefficient of variation in the transverse direction is determined.
