Relative Elongation of Raw Cotton Fibers as a Result of Adhesion of Fiber Bundles and Action of Tensile Forces

The study investigates changes in relative elongation of raw cotton fibers as a result of adhesion between fiber bundles and the influence of tensile forces. A dependence of relative elongation of fibers on tensile forces, also affected by other significant factors, is obtained. A test rig for determining resistance strength values of the elastic element of raw cotton is created for experimental studies withs different varieties of cotton.
