The basic intention of the research is to analyse the influence of air-jet and vortex yarn structure on woven fabric functionality. With the research, the air-jet and vortex yarn from the mixture of 65 % PES / 35 % CO fibres and fineness 20 tex were analysed. For comparison, the conventional ring-spun yarn was chosen from the mixture of 65 % PES/35 % CO fibres and fineness 20 tex. The woven fabric in the twill weave T1/3Z was produced from the air-jet, vortex and ring-spun yarn in the weft direction with two different weft densities (20 and 30 yarns per cm). In the first part of the study, the structure, physical and mechanical properties of the air-jet, vortex and ring-spun yarn were analysed, while in the second part of the research, the influence of used yarn in the weft direction on the functionality of woven fabric was studied. The research was focused mainly on physical, mechanical properties as well as permeability properties of woven fabric with air-jet and vortex yarn in the weft direction in comparison with woven fabric with conventional ring-spun yarn in the weft direction, with equal chemical composition and fineness of yarn. The research results was shown which yarn structure in the weft direction of woven fabric (air-jet or vortex) the most closely approximates the characteristics of the ring-spun yarn, which has because of ring-traveller-spindle mechanism ideal and the most even structure, mainly because of the insertion of the true twist.

Yarn strength is composed of the total contributions made by all breaking and slipping fibers which are determined by critical slipping length lc. Though the definition of lc has been the focus of many research projects, it still remains unsolved. In this study, idealized assumptions were made on yarn structure, and lc was then estimated. At the same time, the actual contributions that breaking fibers and slipping fibers make to yarn strength were recalculated based on an idealized yarn structure, which was analyzed with the conditional probability method according to fiber length distribution. Then, yarn strength was computed by simulating random fiber arrangement in the yarn. It could be seen from calculated results that the critical slipping length declines as yarn twist multiplier increases. Meanwhile, as the twist multiplier increases, the calculated yarn strength rises to the highest point and then declines, which is in agreement with traditional spinning theory. Thus, the calculation of yarn strength based on critical slipping length could reflect the yarn breaking mechanism with a change in the yarn twist multiplier, and could be applied for further prediction of yarn strength.

Overexposure to hand transmitted vibrations (HTVs) from prolonged use of vibrating power tools can result in severe injuries. By monitoring the exposure of a worker to HTVs, overexposure, and injury, can be mitigated. An ideal HTV-monitoring system would measure vibration were it enters the body, which for many power tools will be the palm and fingers, however this is difficult to achieve using conventional transducers as they will affect the comfort of the user and subsequently alter the way that the tool is held. By embedding a transducer within the core of a textile yarn, that can be used to produce a glove, vibration can be monitored close to where it enters the body without compromising the comfort of the user. This work presents a vibration-sensing electronic yarn that was created by embedding a commercially available accelerometer within the structure of a yarn. These yarns were subsequently used to produce a vibration-sensing glove. The purpose of this study is to characterize the response of the embedded accelerometer over a range of relevant frequencies and vibration amplitudes at each stage of the electronic yarn’s manufacture to understand how the yarn structure influences the sensors response. The vibration-sensing electronic yarn was subsequently incorporated into a fabric sample and characterized. Finally, four vibration-sensing electronic yarns were used to produce a vibration-sensing glove that is capable of monitoring vibration at the palm and index finger.

Abstract In this study, the wicking properties of ring and compact-siro ring spun staple yarns were compared. The twist level, which is related to the structure of the staple yarns, was found to significantly influence the wicking property of the two kinds of yarn. Polyester staple fibers with 1.33 dtex × 38 mm were selected as the staple fiber material, and the effect of the twist level on the wicking property was investigated using the capillary rise method. The results show that with a decreasing twist coefficient, the wicking height increases with a decrease in yarn compactness. The compact-siro spun yarn showed better wicking properties owing to it special ply yarn structure. Furthermore, the tension property of the yarns decreased significantly with a decrease in the twist coefficient. Compact-siro spinning was carried out to obtain staple yarns with lower twist coefficients, and the yarns showed great improvement in terms of yarn strength, fiber straightness, and wicking properties. Thus, compact-siro spinning is an efficient method to improve the wicking properties of staple yarns.

In this study, a novel concept has been developed as a cyclical spacing-change method to produce periodic varied structural composite yarn. Geometrical analysis indicated that the cyclical change of spacing between filaments and the strand altered the yarn formation zone shapes from corefil to sirofil, causing cyclic yarn structure variations from the hairy core–sheath (corefil section) to the smooth spiral filament wrapping (sirofil section). A mechanical analysis revealed the corefil section with more twists was thinner than the sirofil section with fewer twists. Specifically, the cross-sectional diameter performed gradual periodic changes from the thick sirofil section to the thin corefil section. Then, an eccentric godet wheel device was used to conduct confirmatory experiments. Besides validating the theoretical analysis, the experimental results also showed that the novel concept yarn had the minimum hairiness and medium irregularity and strength after comparisons with sirofil and corefil yarns.

This paper describes an experimental study of the impact of yarn structure on the thermal properties of worsted fabric. In this study, four different spun yarn structures (Solo, Siro, and single ply and two ply Ring) were woven into four fabric structures (Plain, Twill2/1, Twill2/2 and Basket2/2) and their thermal properties were studied. In addition, the thermal behavior of finished and unfinished samples was also evaluated. Results showed that the finishing process causes an increase in thermal conductivity and warmth to weight factor and a decrease in thermal insulation. Different spinning systems, also affect the thermal properties of the worsted fabrics. Samples with Siro yarns in the weft were found to have the highest thermal conductivity and those made from single ply weft yarn the lowest thermal conductivity. A relation between fabric thermal insulation and air permeability and thickness was also found.
