Yarn wickability achieves high thermo-physiological comfort. Therefore, this paper aimed to investigate yarn wickability and analyze statistically factors affecting yarn wicking performance. Methodology consists of testing wicking height for ring spun yarn produced from three levels of fibre types and twist factors at two levels of doubling. Statistical tools such as ANOVA, T-test and Post-hoc tests analyzed the impacts on wicking heights. Findings showed that the Post-hoc test represented the variation between groups more accurately than ANOVA. Furthermore, a comparison of Bonferroni Alpha with T-test p-values revealed that yarn wicking was significantly affected by interactions of fibre type, doubling, and twist level.
This study aims to obtain an accurate prediction model of mechanical properties of woven fabric to achieve customer satisfaction. Samples of plain woven fabric were produced from different yarn counts and blend ratios of cotton and polyester of weft yarn at different weft densities. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, bending stiffness and elongation% in both the warp and weft directions were tested. The prediction model was based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). For each model, thirty-nine samples were used for training and fifteen for testing prediction performance. Findings indicated that the ANN achieved a perfect performance in predicting all properties.
