Multiscale Simulation, Experimental Validation and Optimization of Draping-Induced Folding in Woven Fabrics

The prediction of the draping and folding behavior of textiles is important for the thermoforming of lightweight components. By assessing and controlling the fabric’s wrinkling, curved surfaces of components can be digitally optimized to ensure minimized folds and improved mechanical strength. A mechanical model for th...
