The method is applied to bundle load- elongation curves from HVI tests to estimate the averages of fiber breaking strength, elongation, and crimp. The estimated values are compared with single fiber tensile properties obtained from a Mantis® single fiber tester. }, number={12}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Cui, XL and Suh, MW and Sasser, PE}, year={2003}, month={Dec}, pages={1066–1070} } @article{cui_suh_sasser_1999, title={Tensile behavior of slack fiber bundles - Theory and application to HVI testing}, volume={69}, DOI={10.1177/004051759906900706}, abstractNote={ A statistical model for the tensile behavior of a bundle of slack fibers is developed in terms of its constituent single fiber properties. A large amount of data on single fiber tensile properties is obtained by a Mantis® tester. Application of this theory to HVI tensile test results shows much better agreement than other models developed earlier for bundles of straight, equal length fibers. }, number={7}, journal={Textile Research Journal}, author={Cui, X.

SOME THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS}, volume={61}, ISSN={["0040-5175"]}, DOI={10.1177/004051759106100103}, abstractNote={ The mathematical fundamentals of fiber length distribution are reviewed in a unified way, with particular emphasis on the derivation of short fiber content (SFC) by number and weight and other related length parameters. The concept of "similar distribu tions" is introduced to describe the resemblance in shape between different distribu tions. This is necessary because of the specific nature of cotton length distributions. The SFC as a length parameter is related to both the range and shape of the fiber length distributions. The paper concludes with the presentation of equations necessary to determine the SFC of a binary mixture, if the SFC and other fiber characteristics of each component are known. }, number={1}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={ZEIDMAN, MI and BATRA, SK and SASSER, PE}, year={1991}, month={Jan}, pages={21–30} } @article{zeidman_batra_sasser_1991, title={DETERMINING SHORT FIBER CONTENT IN COTTON .2. MEASURES OF SFC FROM HVI DATA STATISTICAL-MODELS}, volume={61}, ISSN={["0040-5175"]}, DOI={10.1177/004051759106100209}, abstractNote={ Based on large data sets from three consecutive cotton crop years, linear models for SFW and SFN in terms of the HVI length parameters have been developed. The necessity of modifying the Suter-Webb array distributions is justified. The results are discussed in light of the concept of "similarity" related to fiber length distributions, as defined in Part I. Using normalized regression equations, UI is demonstrated to have a stronger influence on SFC than the range parameters (UHM, ML). The terms UI, UHM, ML are standard measurements of the HVI instruments and have been defined in the text. The models developed in this study have been compared with the one developed by Preysch in 1979, and the relative improvement over Preysch's method is discussed. }, number={2}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={ZEIDMAN, MI and BATRA, SK and SASSER, PE}, year={1991}, month={Feb}, pages={106–113} }
