A particle model based on measured mechanical properties of woven cloth

Even though a particle model based on the mechanical properties of woven cloth has been proposed by D.E. Breen et al. (1994), there are problems in describing the cloth behavior precisely and in reflecting the cloth dynamics. In this paper, we describe a precise relationship between the measured mechanical properties of cloth and the particle model. Moreover, a collision model describing the rotation as well as the movement of particles resulting from an impulse is integrated into the particle model. Some experiments involving two cloth materials are performed in order to validate the proposed cloth model.
