Simulating the Mechanical Properties of a Yarn Based on the Properties and Arrangement of its Fibers Part II: Results of Simulations

Abstract

Part I established a theoretical model that was able to predict the stress-strain and torque-strain curves of a yarn. This second part evaluates the model. The influence of fiber and yarn parameters on the predicted values is also discussed. The most critical fiber property is the coefficient of friction.
