Statistical compatibility analysis of objective fabric measurements in virtual garment simulation

In recent years, three-dimensional garment simulation programs have begun to draw attention with the developing technology but there is still some doubt about the validity of the simulation results. Simulation software should accurately simulate fabric behaviours as well as correct modelling of clothing on virtual models. For this reason, the mechanical and physical properties of the fabric are very important for these programs to reflect the behaviour of the clothes. Software producers have begun to develop their own measurement devices because of the cost of custom measurement systems (KESF, FAST etc.). In this study, it is aimed to investigate strain, shear and bending properties of fabrics and the compatibility of measurements obtained from the virtual clothing simulation program's special test equipment and the measuring instruments in laboratory conditions.
