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 |
