Abstract

This paper aims to study the effect of pile yarn and tufted carpet structure parameters on the behavior of the carpet during successive compression-recovery cycles. Many as 81 different samples were produced form different yarns. with different tufting machine parameters. The yarn parameters are blend ratio of wool / nylon and twist in single and plied yarn. The carpet structure parameters are pile height and stitch density.
