The effects of various process and material parameters on fabric roll making have been discussed in the earlier parts of this series. A number of theoretical models have been proposed to better understand the roll-making process and its effects on the state of stress in a fabric roll. In this analysis, the influence of varying winding tension is investigated. If winding tension can be controlled as a function of fabric properties, undesirable levels of stress in the fabric can be minimized. The principles demonstrated here can be used to develop a process control system.
