“…Another experiment conducted in the study examined the dynamic drape coefficient of fabric in reciprocating motion. This study employed the dynamic drape coefficient with reciprocating motion, D d , defined by Matsudaira and Yang 21,23 to express the drape coefficient of fabric in reciprocating motion.…”

“…22 It can control the rotation speed from 0 to 240 rpm in a forward motion and can also perform fixed angle reciprocating motion movement. 21 This kind of system can also process acquired drape images and use software to calculate drape indicators, static drape coefficient (D s ), and drape node (n). The drape parameters D s and n are obtained by substituting Kawabata Evaluation System (KES) parameters into a regression formula.…”

Quantifying the dynamic drape properties of woven fabrics is an important factor in representing the actual qualities of wearing different materials. While static drape tests are not fully sufficient for measuring the real drapable nature of fabric, performing dynamic drape tests of woven fabric has been a very challenging task for the textile industry. In order to overcome this problem, this study developed an automatic drape-measuring system for woven fabrics. In this study, static and dynamic drapability testing values of spring/summer natural fiber woven fabrics are analyzed. The weights of the tested fabrics range from 11.0 to 18.3 mg/cm 2. The ‘Four-in-One’ Automatic Measuring System for Dynamic Drape is used to measure fabric drapability. The drape-testing instrument is employed with forward rotation, reciprocating motion, and swinging motion, simulating the changes in the dynamic drape of fabric when people walk at different speeds. The results of this study indicate that the dynamic drape coefficient (Dc) and dynamic drape coefficient of fabric in forward rotation (Dcr) can be used to determine the dynamic drape liveliness of four types of natural fiber woven fabrics in forward rotation, the dynamic drape coefficient with reciprocating motion (Dd) can be used to determine the dynamic drape liveliness of the four fabrics in reciprocating motion, and the dynamic drape coefficient with swinging motion (Dsr) can be used to determine the dynamic drape liveliness of the four fabrics in swinging motion.

“…Fabric drape behaviour has been widely studied both theoretically and experimentally (Breen et al, 1994;Chen & Govindraj, 1995;Chen & Govindraj, 1996;Chu et al, 1950;Chu et al, 1960;Cusick, 1968;Hearle et al, 1969;Peirce, 1930 (Matsudaira & Yang, 1997;, 1999, 2000, 2001, and much progress has been made, especially in measuring the dynamic drapability of fabrics (Lin et al, 2008;Shyr et al, 2007).…”

A garment is regarded as desirable and beautiful if it covers the body with harmony and gracefulness. High drape, lightweight and soft handle fabrics are in demand, particularly for womenswear garments such as dresses, shirts, skirts, trousers and suits. Fabric drapability can be measured by a number of drapemeters for different modes of drapability such as static, dynamic and revolving. It has been shown that the drape coefficients, Ds , Dd and Dr , associated with these respective modes of drapability can be predicted from a combination of measurements from the KES-F system (Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics). In this paper we present the results of our studies on the prediction of drapability of lightweight wool fabrics, based on the KES-F system and drape coefficient predictive equations. It has been shown that the parameters Dr/Ds and Dd/Ds , called Indices of Drape Fluidity, Ir and Id , express the fluid drape behaviour better than Ds , Dr , D200 and Dd . This is because they discriminate and predict the drapability of fabrics better. Ir and Id have higher CV% than the Dr and Dd data, and therefore represent greater relative dispersion in a fabric group for drape. Various drape parameters of a group of wool fabrics have been compared with the four groups of polyester Shingosen fabrics, namely, New Silky, New Worsted, Rayon Touch and Peach Face, which are recognised for their soft fluid drape.

PurposeTo provide researchers with the details of developments in instruments to measure fabric drape and review the literature related to fabric drape.Design/methodology/approach – In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in investigating the aesthetic behavior of fabrics due to the developments in objective evaluation techniques. To understand drape behavior, it is essential to know how drape is measured quantitatively. This paper reviews research related to drape characteristics of fabrics, two‐dimensional instruments and analysis of drape by measuring stiffness, three‐dimensional instruments developed to measure drape, fabric mechanical properties and their influence on drape measurement, and the latest developments in the field including image analysis, the dynamic drape tester and other related research.Findings – Many instruments for measuring drape have been developed including the earliest that assessed stiffness of fabrics, later versions of drape meters and recent innovative instruments for capturing complex drape information. Even though extensive detail for simple geometric forms such as circles and squares can be provided by the newest methods, measurement of the drape characteristics of complex forms needs the consideration of researchers to extend the work on drape measurement to garments. It was also noted that there are some contradictory conclusions regarding the properties influencing fabric drape.Originality/value – This paper is offered as a concise reference for individuals beginning research in the area of fabric drape.
