| Abstract: | The effect of the extent of medulla on stress-strain and torsional properties of single wool fibres is reported. Medulla decreases stress at all the strains. Swelling is less in medullated fibres. Medulla has little effect on torsion at low strains; at high shear strains the medulla collapses and the fibre fails at low twist. These differences in mechanical properties are explained as due partly to the presence of medulla and partly to the intrinsic changes in the keratin of these fibres. |
