ABSTRACT

This book discusses the mechanics in textile machinery in spinning, weaving and knitting processes. It is a useful resource for developing an analytical thinking about the machineries by providing information about the various mechanisms involved. The subject matter of this book includes –

  • Gear trains
  • Equations of movement
  • Resolution of forces
  • Principle of moments
  • Stress, strain and elasticity
