Three possible methods of graphing these eigenvalues are discussed. These provide a convenient visualization of fabric shapes and strengths. Examples are given of the use of such graphs for representing field data and for tracing progressive deformation of fabrics. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
