Abstract
Slivers were separated into small fiber assemblies with several separating devices under various conditions, and the sizes of separated fiber assemblies were detected and recorded continuously. The weight distributions of separated fiber assemblies were analyzed using the method for analyzing particle size distribution in fracture process.
The cumulative weight distribution of fiber assemblies is similar to Rosin-Rammler distribution, and the probability density distribution to Weibull distribution p(x), where, p(x)=(β/α)xβ-1e-(1/α)xβ The effects of separating devices, separating conditions, and the sliver structure on these distributions can be expressed by simple parameters α and β.
