Optimization of Fabric Manipulation during Pick/Place Operations

Uses a general large displacement beam theory to formulate a finite element‐based numerical method for simulating fabric drape, manipulation and contact. Presents numerical results corresponding to real fabric materials. Shows a broad class of fabric mechanics problems including how these effects can be solved.
