In this paper, assuming that the yarn strand is a linear elastic with a circular cross section. Taking the dynamic tension as an output and the braking moment applied on the Jacquard roller as an input. At a moment of clutch operating and releasing, the dynamic tension fluctuations of yarn strand during transmitted between the jacquard roller and drag roller are theoretical analyzed. A mathematical model describing the yarn strand tension fluctuation is derived from theorem of moment of momentum and material balance. The dynamic tension is obtained by applying Laplace's transformation and providing that the input braking moment is a step response. The amplitude, frequency and damping coefficient of yarn tension fluctuation are obtained. The result shows that the braking moment has an important influence on the yarn strand tension fluctuations, suggesting a necessity of careful designing and controlling of Jacquard roller and friction plate of clutch. At the same time, the effect of the length of yarn strand from jacquard rollers to drag rollers on natural frequency and damping coefficient of fluctuation of yarn strand tension are analyzed.

Abstract：To improve the current situation that the traditional wool shrink-proofing process can not meet the ecological requirements, this paper focused on the shrink-resistant finishing of Gabardine and Valitin by the eco-friendly combination of H2O2/cutinase/protease. The results showed that the use of cutinase obviously enhanced the shrink-proofing effect. And the shrinkage rates of Gabardine and Valitin after finishing reached 0.25% and 6.5%, respectively, which had met the IWS standard of machine-washable. Moreover, results from the dye absorbing rate and alkaline solubility showed that relative to the sample treated without cutinase, the one treated with cutinase had higher dye absorbing rate and lower alkaline solubility, which suggested that cutinase could break the scales of wool surface to a higher extent. Thus, looser structure in the scales made the further treatment of protease take place more possibly in the scales, reducing the hydrolysis to woolen cortex by protease.
