AB - Crimp frequency during the stuffer box crimping process is of great importance for controlling morphology of crimped fibers. A fiber is considered as a viscoelastic rheological fluid, and an approximate formulation for crimp frequency is obtained revealing the main factors affecting the crimping process.
