A method for predicting yarn strength and strain is presented, based on the main fiber parameters of linear density, length, strain, and stress. The application of special software for a microcomputer makes the time required for all the calculations extremely short (2 minutes maximum). A comparison of the theoretical and experimental values of strength and breaking strain is presented.
