Generating Fiber Length Distribution from the Fibrogram

Abstract

Theoretical fibrograms were generated from fiber length distributions, and new fiber length distributions were then generated from these theoretical fibrograms for two, three, four, five, and six significant digits using differential and algorithm methods. A minimum of four significant digits of fibrogram data appears to be generally required to generate fiber length distributions for short, medium, and long varieties of measured fibers to closely simulate actual fiber length distributions using either the differential or algorithm method. The algorithm method takes fewer steps to generate a fiber length distribution than the differential method.
