Optimization of fiber distribution in spunbond non-woven structure

The mechanical properties of thin spunbond tissues depend on the distribution of fibers in tissues structure. The optimum fiber distribution leads to the fiber mass uniformity spreading in the tissue structure. The present research defines an optimum model of fiber distribution in the tissue structure by using genetic algorithm. To find the applicability of the presented optimization method, some samples have been prepared from Polypropylene fibers (1.5 Den). The mechanical tests have been performed on tissue samples. The results confirmed that the developed model using genetic algorithm can be applied as a reliable method to determine optimum fiber distribution strongly.
