Fabric and Garment Drape Measurement - Part 1

Sreenath . Three Dimensional Modeling of Garment Drape

Unidirectional Fabric Drape Testing Method

In most cases, fabrics such as curtains, skirts, suit pants and so on are draped under their own gravity parallel to fabric plane while the gravity is perpendicular to fabric plane in traditional drape testing method. As a result, it does not conform to actual situation and the test data is not convincing enough. To overcome this problem, this paper presents a novel method which simulates the r...

Dynamic Drape Behavior of Textile Fabric: Part I - Development of an Instrument and Its Implications

There are instruments available to measure the drape coefficient of fabric. The most widely accepted method (IS 8357:1977) is hang a circular fabric sample and measure the drape coefficient. This measurement technique gives quite a bit of fair idea about drape coefficient of a fabric in static condition. But when it’s static condition is disturbed as the case in practical application of fabric ...

Dynamic Drapen Behavior of Textile Fabric: Part II - Attributes of Various Fabric Parameters

Substantial amount of work has been done on static drape behavior of fabric by Cusick in 60s. In 70s & 80s, it was felt that drape is not much important. Therefore the main focus during this period was on tensile behavior of the fabric. But during 90s, due to rapid growth of readymade garment along with computerized manufacturing system, it was felt by various research workers and market survey...

Advanced Topics in Virtual Garment Simulation Part 1

For more than two decades, cloth simulation has been an active research area in computer graphics. In order to create efficient high-quality animations, techniques from many research fields have to be thoroughly combined. The ongoing interest in this field is also due to the multidisciplinary nature of cloth simulation which spurs development and progress in collision detection, numerical time ...
