Abstract

In this study, the Lagrangian Finite Element formulation, covering both the tensile and bending rigidities, is extended to include fabric weights and then exploited for the prediction of the large bending and buckling deformations of fabrics. The deformations results are compared with those published in the literature. It is shown that there is an excellent agreement between the calculated results and the previously published results.
