Abstract
A simplified model of textile fabric drape based on two-dimensional ri ng theory is applied to the circular geometry of the drapemeter. A mat erial parameter incorporating fabric properties and drape geometry is identified and used to characterize the drape response in terms of the energy contained in a series of deformed rings. Results of the analys is include the prediction of drape configurations and an explanation o f their nonuniqueness based on energy content.
