This study quantifies the mechanical behavior of a fiber during crimp removal. Single fiber tensile tests are performed on various fibers using a Textechno Favimat. Simultaneously, crimp removal is optically monitored. A methodology is developed to identify the true crimp removal region of the fiber load-extension curve during a tensile test. A mechanical model accounting for the nonlinear load-deflection behavior during crimp removal is also developed. }, number={4}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Bauer-Kurz, I and Oxenham, W and Shiffler, DA}, year={2004}, month={Apr}, pages={343–350} } @article{bauer-kurz_oxenham_1998, title={A correlation between tensile yarn parameters and production characteristics}, volume={1}, number={1998}, journal={Beltwide Cotton Conferences.
