Ludmila Fridrichová, Ph.D.Contact email for more information: ludmila.fridrichova@tul.czThe woven fabric is anisotropic and exhibits different values of mechanical properties in different directions.The work aims are to find the theoretical relationships between the anisotropy of bending rigidity of the fabricand the creation of its drape profile. The drape profile exhibits cyclic changes of the drape shape in the polardiagram when the same fabric is dynamically stressed. The experimental study will be based on thedevelopment of the instrument and software for measurement of the dynamic drape coefficient. Thetheoretical part aims at the description of the mathematical model for the prediction of the drape profile of thefabric. The research of bending rigidity and drape is important for the improvement of the appearance offabrics.TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF LIBEREC | Faculty of Textile Engineering | Studentská 1402/2 | 461 17 Liberec 1tel.: +420 485 353258 | www.ft.tul.cz | IČ: 467 47 885 | DIČ: CZ 467 47 885
