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

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
