Textiles Dynamically Influenced Drapability

Abstract

Many researchers examined the static drapeability of textiles, they found that the textiles with different materials, structures or finishing have different drape characteristic. They analyzed also apart the static measuring the drapeability influenced with dynamical effect. They measured the dynamic drapeability during rotating the textile sample [1]. They found that the form of the draped sample is change from the dynamic effect. The Sylvie 3D Drape Tester developed at BUTE record all the surface of draped textiles with scanning technology, and the evaluating computer system define the usual drapeability parameters, like node number and drape coefficient. We complete the equipment with a tool with which we can examine the drapeability after different exactly defined dynamic effect.
