Abstract
This paper presents a study of the effect of important fabric mechanical properties on drape. The study uses a mathematical modeling technique to simulate fabric drape. Young's modulus in the warp and weft directions, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, and fabric thickness are the parameters studied in this work. Results of the analysis indicate that all of these characteristics have varying degrees of influence on drape. The validity of using experimental values of fabric mechanical characteristics obtained from the Kawabata evaluation system for fabrics is discussed. The most important requirement for obtaining a good simulation is the use of correct values for these parameters, obtained experimentally at conditions similar to drape.
