  • Optimizing drawing frame variables to enhance polyester spun yarn quality using soft computing techniques

    Optimizing drawing frame variables to enhance polyester spun yarn quality using soft computing techniques

    Yarn serves as a fundamental component in the production of most textile products. Spun yarns are created by grouping individual fibres into a continuous strand, typically held together through twisting. The term “staple yarn manufacturing”…
