Part 8 concludes (1) that the contraction force
f1 develops in set fibers immersed in water and is in proportion to the strain set previously,
f1 as a general form being expressible as
f1=
E1 (ε-ε
n), where
E1 is a material constant, ε is the strain set previously and ε
n is a limit strain beyond which
f1 shows; (2) that the amount of yarn contraction also increases linearly with the strain set previously, (3) and that initial Young's modulus
E2 of set fibers, obtained by further stretching in water after
f1 has developed, increases linearly with strain ε, and
E2 for viscose yarn, acetate and silk is expressed as
E2=
K+
kε where
K and
k are material constants.
