Optimisation of Multi-Response Surface Parameters of the Roving Twist Factor and Spinning Back Zone Draft

Abstract

In order to obtain the optimal collocation of two important technological parameters in the spinning process, the multi-response surface method was used to optimise the experimental results. Through the orthogonal design of the two factors and four levels of factor encoding, 16 groups of orthogonal experiments were designed; the experimental results were fit using the curve fitting toolbox of Matlab; a regression equation of yarn quality indicators, and in addition to a three-dimensional surface chart, an optimal scheme of the roving twist factor and spinning drafting for a roving twist factor of 110 were established; a spinning back draft of 1.5 was obtained based on experimental results of the response surface analysis and variance regression analysis. Experiments on the optimal scheme were carried out to verify the practicability of the results obtained by this method. The results show that application of the multiple response surface method to the optimisation of process parameters is of practical significance. This method can be applied for the optimisation of other process parameters.
