Abstract

An apparatus for stretching and relaxing single fibers for the purpose of determining mechanical hysteresis losses is described. Results obtained on cotton, viscose rayon, and nylon fibers are compared with similar data previously obtained on cords from which the fibers were taken. Such comparison indicates that interfiber friction is probably the major cause of hysteresis energy losses in cotton and rayon tire cords under cyclic loads at low frequencies.
