A fuzzy logic method for predicting the drape behavior

Abstract

Drape is particularly interesting because it is characterized by a deep ambivalence, oscillating between artistic pattern and type of clothing. It is influenced by the physical and mechanical fabrics properties. In this paper, we presented a method based on the fuzzy logic which the aim is the prediction of the drape behavior (drape coefficient, drape distance ratio, fold depth index and node number) from some fabrics properties such us the bending rigidity (warp, weft and skew direction), shear rigidity and weight of fabric samples.
