Abstract
A box-counting method for determining the fractal dimensions of crimped fibers is discussed in detail. Using nylon 6 crimped filament magnified figures, an application of the method is demonstrated where the box-counting dimension ( DB) of nylon 6 has a distribution of 1.00-1.65. Eight animal fibers, cotton, and two other synthetic crimped fibers are also characterized by DB distributions of 1.00-1.32. Modified random Koch curves are used to simulate crimped fiber shapes and to examine the relationship between Hausdorff's dimension ( DH) and DB.
