Study by Simulation of the Peeling Tension Mechanism of a Cocoon Filament in the Silk Reeling Process

Abstract

For the purpose of obtaining the fundamental data for evaluating the state of cooked cocoons by measuring the peeling tension force of cocoon filament, the authors simulated the occurrence of a cocoon filament's peeling tension and discussed the mechanism of its occurrence of the peeling tension. As a result of that, the mechanism of a cocoon filament's peeling tension force was analyzed, and it made possible to determine the degree of finishment of cooked cocoons by the cocoon filaments' peeling tension.
