Abstract
The effects of fabric structure and mechanical properties on the draping characteristics of fabrics are studied with a systematically designed range of fabrics. The fabric cover factor has a large effect on the fabric drape because of its effect on the bending rigidity. Yarn interactions and crimp, which are determined by the weave structure, also influence the fabric drape. Fabric tightness influences the fabric drape by modifying the shear rigidity. The effects of fabric structure and mechanical properties on the instability of fabric drape are also described.
