A Micromechanical Model for Blended Yarns with Fragmented Low-Elongation Fibers

Technical paper presenting a micro-mechanical model for the interaction between fragmented low elongation-to-break fibers (LE) and high elongation-to-break fibers (HE) in blended yarns, for the evaluation of the load-extension behaviour of such yarns. Authors: T.A. Godfrey and J.N. Rossettos.
