The stiffness model has been proposed to predict elastic constants of twisted yarn composites. The model is based upon the unit cell structure, the coordinate transformation, and the volume averaging of compliance constants for constituent materials. For the correlation of analytic results with experiments, composite samples of various yarn twist angle were tested. The samples were fabricated by the RTM process using glass yarns and epoxy resin. The correlations of elastic constants showed relatively good agreements. The model provides the predictions of the three-dimensional engineering constants, which are valuable input data for the analytic characterization of textile composites made of twisted yarn.

In the study, the physical properties of the raw sample, non-circular(+ type) DTY yarn(50d level) with absorption and quick-dry function, were examined before and after being twisted(1000T/M). The results are as follows: The shrinkage of non-cricular(+type) DTY yarn(50d/36f) at $180^{\circ}$ was about 6-7% with twisted samples, but the samples without twisting went 8 to 10%. The elongation of the non-twisted and twisted samples at $180^{\circ}$ and 30-minute treatment time reached 50% and 40%, respectively. The tenacity of non-cricular(+type) DTY yarn(50d/36f) was affected less by treatment temperature in the twisted condition.

Investigated whether fiber orientation distribution of twisted yarn composites and the fiber content are 0$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ direction tensile strength and some correlation. Tensile strength of 0$^{\circ}$ directions of twisted yarn composites increased changelessly being proportional the fiber content and fiber orientation function get into anisotropic in isotropic. But, tensile strength ratio by separation of fiber filament of 90$^{\circ}$ directions tensile strength decreased when tensile load is imposed for width direction of reinforcement fiber. 0$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ direction tensile strength ratio value of a twisted yarn composites not receive almost effect of the fiber content of fiber orientation function J = 0.4 lows. Although do, 20 wt% of the fiber content is high about 0$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ direction tensile strength ratio about 1.6~2 than 10 wt% from J = 0.4. Therefore. could know that effect of the fiber content is dominate.

In woven or knitted preforms for composites, the yams are often twisted for avoiding damage due to the contact with the textile machine elements. When the preforms of twisted yams are used in carbon/carbon composites, the thermal conductivity of the composites varies depending upon the degree of the yarn twist. This paper presents a thermal conductivity model of spun yarn composites. The thermal-electrical analogy and the averaging technique have been adopted in this analysis. The model prediction has been correlated with experimental results in order to confirm the model predictability. Parametric study has also been conducted to examine the effect of the yam twist on the thermal conductivity of spun yarn composites.

We performed the subjective sensibility evaluation on knitted fabrics by the following procedures: setting acrylic fabrics used for S/S among fabrics as basis, five kinds of blended spun yarns and four kinds of twisted filament yarns made by different twisting methods then, we did questionnaire survey targeting sixty females in the expert groups. Utilizing SPSS 12.0, correlation, ANOVA, Duncan, and Multidimensional Standard way were analyzed. The results are as following. First, the result of evaluating on preferred knits followed by the analysis of the sense factor, in the 'drape sense', the acrylic/rayon blended knit was preferred as the most flexible, pliable, and elastic knit; in weight/bulk factor, the acrylic filament knit the most twisted was preferred as the least bulk, thin, cool and transparent knit; in 'surface depression sense' factor, A(F)W acrylic/wool blended knit was preferred as the most haggard, straight, dry knit. Second, the result of evaluating on preferred knits followed by the analysis of the sensibility factor, in the 'neatness' the acrylic filament hit was preferred as the most clean, neat and delightful knit; in the 'comfortableness', the acrylic/wool blended knit was preferred as the most natural, stable, and comfortable knit. Third, according to the result of evaluating on preferred knits as the spring and summer, generally the acrylic filament twisted yarn knits were more preferred than the acrylic blended yarns. However the preference on the kinds of the acrylic twisted filament yarn showed that there is a little difference on the acrylic blended yarn knit.

A stiffness model has been proposed to predict elastic constants of twisted yam composites. The model is based upon the unit cell structure, the coordinate transformation, and the volume averaging of compliance constants for constituent materials. For the correlation of analytic results with experiments, composite samples of various yam twist angles were tested, and strength and Young's modulus under tensile, compressive, and shear loading have been obtained. The sample was fabricated by the RTM process using glass yarns and epoxy resin. The correlations of elastic constants showed relatively good agreements. The model provides the predictions of the three-dimensional engineering constants, which are valuable input data for the analytic characterization of textile composites made of twisted yam.

Fancy Yarn has developed diverse textures in fabrics, reducing the time in yarn and fabric production or apparel making in order to develop creative goods. In this study aimed to propose the use of a 4D box system to make fancy yarn shapes with loops, knops and spirals and the like. The change in texture was analysed and simulated to produce a suitable fabric image by using the fancy yarns fabric. The results are as follows. The plain weave, 2/2 basket weave, 2/2 twill weave, 2/2 2 complete broken weaves, and 5 harness sateen weaves were woven and a fabric image formed. In the case of the loop and the knop yarns fabric image, compared to the twisted fabric image the surface was covered by loops or some parts became partially black. In the case of the spiral shape it showed pattern continuity in spiral shapes 1, 2 and 3. The more twisted spirals produced a diamond shaped pattern or a twill line and a herring bone shaped twill line. An evenly distributed black fabric image appeared in 5 harness sateen weave. For the loop shape the broken weave or 5 harness sateen weave was produced; basket weave and broken weave for the knop yarn 1 or knop yarn 2; and for the spiral shape a plain fabric or 5 harness sateen weave were produced much similar to the fabric image. The surface texture of the mapped image compared to the twisted fabric image produces fancy yarn fabric images covered with loops or irregular spots caused by the knop and the spiral. Therefore it is appropriate or suitable for the simulation of tweed or woolen wool fabrics. The fabric image which produced consistent and continuous lines is therefore more suitable for simulations of twill or herringbone fabric images.

This research has a main focus on providing fundamental data for on-the-spot industrial fields by comparing and contrasting physical properties of fluffy spun-like material. The fluffy spun-like yarn is developed as fluffy yarn similar to natural spun-like yarn by treating polyester(FDY and + type shaped DTY) with ATY machine. In this experiment, using ATY machine for raw material texturing, we produced two fluffy yarns: (i) + type shaped(50d/36f, DTY) as core yarn and 100d/192f FDY as effect yarn[ATY(D)], (ii) FDY(75/36) as core yarn and 100d/192f FDY [ATY(F)] as effect yarn. After producing thous yarns, we twisted them with 500T/M, 700T/M, 1000T/M, respectively. produced yarns through this process were used as the samples for this experiment. Even though the shrinkage of fluffy yarn ATY(F) and ATY(D) becomes high as treated temperature rises and treated time lengthens, it is more affected by treated temperature then by treated time. In this experiment, produced fluffy yarn[ATY(D)] shows a little high values for temperature, but almost same values for higher temperatures. When we compare ATY(F) with ATY(D) fluffy yarn shows more natural fluffy yarn surface structure like natural cotton. The shrinkage of 700T/M twisted ATY(D) fluffy yarn show about 11% under treated temperature $180^{\circ}C$ and treated time 30min, and about 7% under $120^{\circ}C$ and 30min, respectively. But the shrinkage of 1000T/M fluffy yarn shoes about 9% and 6% under same conditions. Regarding treated time, tenacity and initial modulus of ATY(D) fluffy yarn rise high until 30min, but do not show much increase above 30min. Regarding treated temperature, tenacity and initial modulus of it rise high aboyer $140^{\circ}C$.

To develop cool touch feeling fabrics for summer clothing material, it was manufactured several compositions of woven fabrics, having rayon multi-filament yarn (non-twisted) as warp and various kinds of yarn, such as viscose rayon multi-filament yarn (twisted), tencel$^{(R)}$ spun yarn, PET high absorbance quick dry filament yarn, and PET based rayon-like yarn, as weft. After preparing the fabrics, basic properties of the fabrics were investigated, such as air-permeability, tensile strength, absorption rate, drying rate, etc. Also, surface warm / cool sensations of the woven fabrics were assessed by Qmax Warm / Cool Touch Tester. It was observed that the fabrics composed of viscose rayon multi-filament yarn (warp) and PET high absorbance quick dry filament yarn (weft) showed excellent surface cool touch sensation-the highest Qmax value. This is because the fabric having flat shaped PET high absorbance quick dry filament shows the largest contact area with Qmax measuring plate. And, the fabric also showed superior high absorbance and quick dry property as expected. In addition, we treated phase change material (PCM) on the surface of the fabric composed of viscose rayon multi-filament yarn (warp) and PET high absorbance quick dry filament yarn(weft) to improve the cool touch feeling. However, the surface cool touch feeling was impaired by resin treated with PCM during the finishing process.

In this paper, in order to examine the torsional behaviour of twisted yarn closely, the torsional rigidity would be derived in terms of physical and mechanical characteristics of its constituent fibers and yarn structural parameters by energy-method. And the propriety of the theory will be discussed by comparing with experimental results. The torsional rigidity of yarn in both experimental and theoretical results decreases with surface helix angle increases. But the experimental values are more higher than those of the theoretical ones.
