The influence of strain rate and yarn number on tensile test results is investigated using a model to describe the tensile curve. A good correlation is obtained with the experimental stress-strain curves. The influence of the yarn number on the tensile modulus and the tensile curve is not quite the same for ring and rotor yarns.
