Course Objective

The course aims,at first, giving a deeper understanding the elastic properties of textile fibres.In the introduction of the geometric and elastic properties of yarns to students, the concept of theorical model is explained ,first, and then it will be shown how these properties can be predicted from the fibre properties by appliying analytical methods.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Ability to understand how theoretical models are developed and verified in the course of a complete research cycle.
2	Ability to understand fine structure of textile fibers and their elastic properties.
3	Ability to understand the relationship between external forces and deformations of fibers and yarns.
4	Ability to understand the geometric structure of yarns and its practical importances.
5	Ability to understand the relationship between twist and yarn mechanical behaviour.
6	Ability to understand the tensile and bending behaviour of yarns.

Course Policies and Rules

The course aims to give the students a deeper understanding of fiber and yarn structure and how structural properties affect their mechanical behaviour. Yarn behaviour is modeled on a geometrical-mechanical description and mathematical methods of analysis are applied. The practical implications are noted.
