Predicting the breaking strength of a rotor spun yarn using ANFIS.

Abstract

This project was carried out in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of bachelor of science in textile engineering. In this project ANFIS was used to predict the breaking strength of a cotton rotor spun yarn. Rotor speed, twist and draft were used as input parameters for the model and strength was used as the output for: the model. Twenty-eight samples of yarn were produced from twenty-eight experiments carried out at Southern Range Nyanza Limited (SR-NL) in Jinja, Uganda. The data obtained was then used to build an ANFIS model that was tested and validated. The report shows all the surface plots of the model, the graphs showing the prediction performance of ANFIS and linear regression, membership function plots, the data used and the codes that were used in this research project. The report also explains the detail of model development and validation, how the membership function types were chosen, which problem is being solved, the objectives of the project and finding of researchers. who did closely related work. The. report shows all the findings and recommendations of the project.
