Abstract
Presents a mathematical treatment of the large‐scale bending behaviour of multi‐ply yarn. Based on the assumptions that: each individual fibre in the yarn has the form of a doubly‐wound helix; each fibre is an inextensible slender rod; and interaction between fibres is ignored. The yarn‐bending rigidity is calculated as an average rigidity of an assembly of coaxial helices. There is good agreement between the predicted and measured values of yarn bending rigidity for a wool worsted knitting yarn. Also predicts the position, curvature and twist components as well as the strain energy of the deformed fibre.
