TLDR
The textile industry realizes the importance of understanding the phenomenon of drape and is anxious to be able to measure it quantitatively as mentioned in this paper, but none have presented any correlation between the data obtained and subjective evaluations, largely because of the failure to realize that drape may not be determined conclusively by those tests which involve two-dimensional distortions of the fabric samples.Abstract:
is said to have good draping qualities when the configuration is pleasing to the eye. Obviously, then, the word &dquo;drape&dquo; is a qualitative term. The textile industry realizes the importance of understanding the phenomenon of drape and is anxious to be able to measure it quantitatively. Numerous &dquo;drape tests&dquo; have been reported in the literature, but none have presented any correlation between the data obtained and subjective evaluations. This is largely because of the failure to realize that drape may not be determined conclusively by those tests which involve two-dimensional distortions of the fabric samples. (Theseread more

Predicting the drape of woven cloth using interacting particles
TL;DR: Photographs, comparing the drape of actual cloth with visualizations of simulation results, show that the approach is able to reliably model the unique large-scale draping characteristics of distinctly different fabric types.

A particle-based model for simulating the draping behavior of woven cloth
TL;DR: In this article, a model of woven cloth that is capable of reproducing the draping behavior of a variety of fabrics is presented, where the model treats the thread crossing as the fundamental modeling unit, which is called a particle.

Drape Prediction by Means of Finite-element Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the draping behavior of fabric treated as an orthotropic shell membrane is predicted by using a geometric non-linear finite-element method, and the results are compared with actual behaviour.

46—the dependence of fabric drape on bending and shear stiffness
TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of the drape of fabrics on bending stiffness and shear stiffness has been investigated, and the regression coefficients of drape coefficients were used as a measure of the fabric drape.

21—the measurement of fabric drape
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown how the method of measuring fabric drape by supporting a circular specimen of fabric between smaller horizontal circular plates has been modified to allow a more sensitive test to be made on very stiff and very limp fabrics.

26—the “handle” of cloth as a measurable quantity
TL;DR: In this article, an instrument is described on which it is possible to measure the angle through which a specimen of cloth droops when a definite length is held out over an edge.

Technical Evaluation of Textile Finishing Treatments III. Use of Rank Correlation for Comparison of Data
Lelia J. Winn,Edward R. Schwarz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the nature and use of the Kendall coefficients of rank correlation and concordance are presented with details of the methods of computa tion involved, and they are found to be superior to the Spearman coefficient previously used both as a matter of convenience and of statistics.
