Modeling and Simulation of a Falling Yarn with One End Fixed

摘要

This paper presents a model and simulation of yarn dynamics to predict the drape behavior of clothes by generalizing the model t fabrics. In the first part of this work, mathematical and mechanical theoretical bases are developed to attempt modeling the shape of a falling yarn with one end fixed. The equations describing the model are strongly interconnected and nonlinear. In the second part, a software implemen- tation of the nonlinear system goes beyond the bounds of computing memory, requiring some simplifications. A series of simulations tests the influence of yarn parameters on this model.
