Abstract

During shed formation, several forces act on the warp yam due to the complex motion of shed forming element. Apart from the axial loading, warp yarn also undergoes abrasion and surface damage. This paper describes the various loads acting on the warp yarn at different phases of shed formation and their effects on the weaving performance of the yarn and also on the fabric properties.
