An application of queuing theory to modelling of melange yarns. part ii: A method of estimating the fibre migration probabilities and a yarn structure simulation algorithm
In this paper the Queuing theory described in part i is applied to the 3D CAD simulation of melange yarns (yarns consisting of fibres of different colours). It was found that the model was able to accurately simulate the colour changes that take place in the production of a melange yarn. This will provide a considerable contribution to cutting down production time spent on shade matching and also to the improvement of yarn design software systems. At this stage Cassidy was responsible for all empirical and evaluation work and made many contributions to the development of the model.
