Nonlinear buckling of woven fabrics, part I: elastic and non-elastic cases

Abstract

In this paper the fabric buckling model proposed by Grosberg and Swani has been modified by incorporating Huang’s bending rule. The proposed model is an extension of the present model and also covers the special cases. The numerical results appear realistic and conform to the trend observed by other researchers. The effects of fabric bending parameters on the buckling behaviour of woven fabrics were explored by numerical computations. The second part of this paper includes the recovery form large-scale buckling of woven fabric.
