Description of Figure 1
| n = number of crimp waves per unit length of fibre | L = n l = crimped length of fibre |
| φ = crimp angle | λ = 2l = wave length of crimped fibre |
| lo = side length of one crimp bow | A = crimp amplitude |
| Lo = 2n lo = extended length of fibre | α = angle between crimp leg, fibre axis |
| l = width of one crimp bow |
Parameters of a crimp for different numbers of crimps per unit length
| Number of crimps per 2.54 cm | Width of one crimp bow l (mm) | Crimp length of fibre L (mm) | Crimp angle (φ) |

Correlation and regression between the number of crimps, crimp length and crimp angle
| S.N | Relation between | Correlation (r) | Regression (p) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Number of crimps per unit length (2.54 cm) and crimp length of fibre (mm) | r = 0.9976 | p = 0.0440 |
| 2. | Number of crimps per unit length (2.54 cm) and crimp angle (φ) | r = −0.9978 | p = 0.0418 |
