Fabric deformation characterized by large displacements and rotations but small strains is analyzed using a geometric nonlinear finite element method. The fabrics are modeled by shell/plate elements. Special considerations for applying the finite element method to fabric analysis are discussed and several examples of fabric deformation presented. The results from the finite element model are compared with experimental data and are in good agreement.
