“…Then, equation (6) leads to equation (7) as follows (7) By introducing the Young's modulus E of the fiber and transforming the strain to the tension, equation (7) becomes (8) Equation (8) shows, thus, the relation of the tension of the fibers that have been fed at position x at the output apex of the spinning triangle at time t. The fiber feeding speed into the spinning triangle, v(t, x, 0), the yarn speed out of the spinning triangle, v(t, x, L), and the input fiber tension, W(t, x, 0) can be thought of as process variables.…”

The ring spinning method is broadly used for manufacturing various forms of yarns in various application fields in thanks of the outstanding yarn characteristics and the well established processing technology. However, applying the ring spinning for manufacturing functional yarn, for example, the core-spun yarn, often raises serious yarn quality problems. Especially, surface defects make it difficult to extend the technology to various end-purposes. Dynamic state of the tension of fibers in the spinning triangle that is considered as a triangular plane flow field plays an important role in causing the defects. In this study, a theoretical model describing the tension behavior of the fibers in the triangular plane flow field was derived and the availability of the model was tested experimentally. Results showed that the steady-state experiments brought good corresponding results with those from the theory, which identifies the effectiveness of the theoretical model. The tension dynamics of the fibers in spinning triangle could be expressed as a 1st order system, while the spinning triangle length and the process velocity could majorly affect the tension dynamic characteristics.

“…For elastic core yarns, the filament draw ratio, twist, spindle speed, pre-tensioning, core-sheath ratio, yarn linear density, fineness of fiber maturity, and fineness have been reported to have influence on the final yarn properties such as hairiness, strength, elasticity, and evenness among others (Behrang, Ali, & Mohsen, 2011;Hasani & Semnani, 2012;Kunal, 2012;Majumdar e al., 2011). Elastic core spun yarns find applications in different fields ranging from traditional textile to smart textiles (Ruppenicker, Harper, Sawhney, & Robert, 1989). Elastic core spun are used in sportswear, lightweight fabrics, underwear, and out wear.…”

This article presents the use of quadratic general rotary unitized design method in optimization of spinning parameters of T-400/cotton core spun yarn on a ring frame. T-400 is a bicomponent filament based on sorona 3GT polymer form DuPont. An experimental design was generated using MINITAB © 15 which included three factors and five levels. Three factors were the twist, filament draw ratio, and the spindle speed with respect to the yarn properties tested by Uster tester. The research draws clear application of quadratic general rotary unitized method on optimization, with step by step analysis of the variable factors in relation to responses. The optimum spinning parameters for hairiness, evenness, and tenacity while holding other yarn qualities as limiting factors were the following: twist value 430 TPM, filament draw ratio of 0.945, and the spindle speed of 7494 rpm.

“…The corespun yarns had lower tenacity than polyester/viscose staple yarns, but they had higher elongation [1]. Previously, several investigators have studied core-yarns containing a nylon or polyester filament [3,4,6,7].Nowadays, the textile industry is producing various core-spun yarns with spandex fibers of 22 to 156 dtex. The spandex fibers covered with staple fibers can be used for daily commodities and industrial products.…”

Owing to growing demand for figure hugging and comfortable clothes made with stretchable fibers, spandex fibers are being used in underwear, diapers, hosiery, leisurewear, sportswear, jeans, and so on. In the present study a polyester core-spun yarn containing spandex fibers was made using a self-designed, multi-section drawing frame and a ring spinning frame. The mechanical properties of the core-spun elastic yarns were examined in various processing conditions. The analytical results show that when the main drawing ratio of the spandex fibers was either 2.2 or 2.7, the maximum breaking tenacity and elongation of the core-spun elastic yarns exceeded those in any other of the main drawing ratio conditions. Demand for elastic fibers is still growing. Consumption of elastic fibers reached 137,000 tons in Asia in 2001. Bayer in Germany was the first to develop polyurethane elastic fibers. US scientists began to develop the commercial applications of polyurethane from the 1940s. Soft and flexible elastomer or hard and abrasion-resistant materials can be fabricated with polyurethane. Spandex fibers are long-chain polymer fibers containing at least 85% segmented polyurethane [2]. Spandex fibers have been developed and produced by numerous companies, for example Spanzelle, Vyrene, Lycra, Glospan, etc.Various previous studies have reported the physical and chemical properties of spandex fibers. An elastic fiber has been characterized by high breaking elongation (exceeding 100% and generally 500 to 800%), a low modulus of elasticity (approximately 1/1000 that of a conventional "hard" fiber, such as nylon, cotton, and so on), and both a high degree and a high rate of recovery from 100% stretching (about 95%). Spandex fibers are resistant to hydrolysis (Lycra had power retention of 100% after boiling for 1 hour in water at pH 3 to 11). In addition the spandex fibers have good resistance to ultraviolet radiation, oxygen, heat, and oil [5]. Babaarslan described a method of producing a polyester/viscose core-spun yarn using spandex fibers. The spandex fibers (Lycra) were covered with polyester staple fibers of 38 mm and 1.3 dtex and viscose staple fibers of 38 mm and 2.4 dtex using a modified ring spinning frame with a positive feed roller system and a V-groove guide. The mechanical properties of the yarn and its uniformity were examined. The corespun yarns had lower tenacity than polyester/viscose staple yarns, but they had higher elongation [1]. Previously, several investigators have studied core-yarns containing a nylon or polyester filament [3,4,6,7].Nowadays, the textile industry is producing various core-spun yarns with spandex fibers of 22 to 156 dtex. The spandex fibers covered with staple fibers can be used for daily commodities and industrial products. This work made a polyester core-spun yarn from spandex fibers using a self-designed, multi-section drawing frame and a ring spinning frame. To keep their elas-
