This article tries to explain the differences in dynamic and static moduli. A math ematical expression is derived to estimate the amount of extension taking place in a fiber due to slippage of molecular segments when subjected to stress. Experimental results on viscose, polyester, and nylon filament yams verify the predictions of the proposed theory.
