Consideration is given to the effect of heat on the strength and dimensional char acteristics of typical tire textile materials. The dimensional change in a hot-stretched nylon cord is divided into two components: the change in filament length and the lateral packing of the filaments.
Dimensional changes are also related to the elastic behavior, to the shrinkage forces, and to the creep characteristics of the cord.
The generality of the thermal effects is demonstrated by data obtained using a range of textile fibers.
