Relationship between Visual Judgement and Dynamic Drape Behavior of Fabrics

Swinging track, velocity, and acceleration of a fabric at a turn-round motion were studied precisely with a dynamic drape tester made in trial using moving image processing system. Following conclusions were obtained. (1) Dynamic drape behavior of fabric is explained by some parameters measured by the moving image processing system. (2) These parameters have different information from conventional static drape coefficient, revolving drape increase coefficient, revolving drape coefficient at 200rpm, and dynamic drape coefficient at swinging motion, and have high correlation with fabric bending and shearing vibrational properties. (3) These parameters have strong correlation with subjective value about beautifulness of dynamic drape behaviors of fabrics.
