Abstract
A numerical algorithm for nonlinear elastic relaxation of a multilayer wove n fabric is introduced and tested. The equilibrium solutions are compared w ith real samples. An excellent result is obtained in spite of two simplific ations: Bending stiffness of the fibers and friction between the fibers are both neglected. The numerical simulation is very fast and cost efficient i n the search for optimal fabrics. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
