Dynamic Drape Behavior of Textile Fabric: Part I - Development of an Instrument and Its Implications
نویسنده
چکیده
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 in the form of using as garment or in the form of any domestic application like using it as curtain or table cloth, it’s shape of fabric fall pattern i.e nodes in term of drape terminology changes. Therefore, to get some idea about the effect of above mentioned static condition to dynamic condition of the fabric, a need was felt to have some sort of simulation. Here simulation might not be possible exactly to the practical condition, but one can think of some sort of simulation, similar to it and find out the effect of the same on drape properties of fabric. Therefore, it was thought that some simple, inexpensive, easy to handle instrument would be developed to measure the dynamic drape coefficient of fabric. The present work is the result of the same.

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...
متن کاملA New Method for Measuring Fabric Drape with a Novel Parameter for Classifying Fabrics
With huge varieties of fabrics, the first challenge for any performance evaluation is to categorize the vast types of the products into fewer, more homogeneous and thus akin groups. Classification or sorting is arguably the first step of any scientific investigation, and comparison of product quality is meaningful only when conducted within a group of comparable products. A new criterion termed...

Drape is one of the most important fabric properties from designer as well as end user point of view. The standard method of drape measurement is as per IS 8357:1977. This can be classified as static drape. In today‟s scenario, across all the areas, advancement of technology is remarkable. There is little doubt that the influence of technology has overtaken our lives. In the manufacturing field...
