Design and Analysis of Flyer

Abstract

Textile engineering is one of the fastest evolving and widely researched dis- ciplines due to high consumption of textile products both in domestic and industrial markets. Which requires light weighted but strong textile ma- chinery components to make them e ective as far as material cost and power consumption is concerned. During the process of converting bers in to yarn, the roving which is a long and narrow bundle of cotton bers needed to be spin to insert twist within it. Flyer is component of the roving machine, which is used as a part of spinning process. The objective of this project work is to describe the methodology for carrying out topology optimization of a textile component yer arm in order to save the material using the application of CAE tools. The topology optimization of the yer arm is carried out to reduce the weight with the constraints of standard operating conditions. The new optimized design of the yer arm is proposed and validated using CAE tools which is equally strong but light weighted compared to existing design. As the Textile component yer arm is rotating component, correction of the unbalance is required due to change in the mass distribution after modification of the yer geometry. So dynamic balancing of Flyer assembly is required to remove the unbalance, to an extent possible for its smooth running. Alternate three material is suggested for yer arm.
