Theory of Yarn Structure

By Prof. Dipayan Das | IIT Delhi

Learners enrolled: 274

This course deals with a system of theoretically derived inherent laws of structures and properties of yarns. Each module of this course is started with definitions, terminologies and fundamental relations. Then, the theoretical models are presented namely from the initial assumptions through the mathematical derivation to the final relations. Such theoretical results are mostly compared with the experimental ones. The topics in this course include basic characteristics of fibers and yarns; relation among yarn count, twist, and diameter; helical model of fibers in yarns; mass irregularity of yarns; radial fiber migration in yarns; yarn shrinkage due to washing; and tensile mechanics of yarns.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Madras .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.
