Finite-element Analysis of Cotton Serrated Ginning State Based on Three-dimensional Braided Modeling

In order to analyze the stress state of the seed cotton in the process of ginning cotton, a theoretical model for cotton, namely three-dimensional braided cotton was developed. The model consists of cotton fiber bundles arranged according to the unit cell structure of a three-dimensional four-directional braided composite material. The fiber bundle has a circular section and the shape of the cross section remains unchanged along the axial...
