Abstract: | The object of this report is to analyze the modes in which the tension on the inner turns drops when a tape or a thread are wound on a compliant bobbin as, for example, during processing of glass-plastic products. It is established here under what conditions one cannot possibly ensure a uniform residual tension in all turns upon completion of the winding; for this case, then, the optimum mode of tension change during winding is sought, so that the tension drop in the inner turns will be minimum. |
