 Acknowledgement

At first our gratefulness goes to almighty allah to give me strength and ability to
complete the project and this report. You have made mylife more beautiful. May you
name to exalated, honeord and glorifiend.

Solayman miah, my supervisor, to whom we extremely indebted for this tremendous

support and guidance throughout my training period. I have not only earned valuable
knowledge but was also inspired by this innovativeness which helped enrich .my
experience to a greater extent. His ideas and way of working truly remarkable. I am also
Expressing my gratitude to Senior Lecturer and Program Coordinator Md. Tanjim
Hossain, Department of textile Engineering for his support and continuous guidance.

Finally Thanks go to my Precious family for their never ending love and inspire at every
stage of my life. without their continuous support I realize that I would not be person I
am right now.

 Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop statistical models for the prediction of warp
and weft crimp percentage of cotton woven fabrics. The developed models are
based on the empirical data obtained from carefully developed 60 fabric samples
with different yarn linear densities, fabric densities and weave designs. The
predictability and accuracy of the developed models was assessed by correlation
analysis of the predicted and actual crimp values of another set of 8 fabric samples
which was not used for the development of models. The results show fairly good
capability and accuracy of the prediction models.
