Abstract: A shuttle loom runs irregularly, noisily, and sometimes inefficiently due, in part, to the nature of the conventional picking mechanism. The fact has been demonstrated by measuring the instantaneous ...

Abstract: Although needle punched fabrics have been used in filtration with increasing success, only meager information is available on their performance characteristics in relation to their unique structure. ...

Abstract: In this article a method for measuring the instantaneous power input to a motor is described. The wattmeter developed was used to estimate the characteristics of a particular loom motor. Also ...

Abstract: Classical results in the behavior of woven fabrics are extended to the case of fabrics having three planar, nonorthogonal axes of symmetry (triaxial). The biaxial loading analysis due to Grosberg ...

Abstract: A blended polyester/cotton yarn has a higher breaking elongation than a cotton yarn because of the rupture of cotton fibers which allows inelastic extension of the yarn. However, the polyester ...
