Investigations are made concerning manners in which residual shrinkage of various nylon textiles are varied by heat setting.
It is found that the dissipation of internal stress begins at lower temperature in the textiles with larger initial internal stress, than in those with smaller initial internal stress.
From the experimental results, it is suggested that the internal stress can not be readily treated quantitatively, but it should be expressed statistically as a superposition of various stresses with different energy levels.
