A simplified model of textile fabric drape based on two-dimensional ring theory is applied to the circular geometry of the drapemeter. A material parameter incorporating fabric properties and drape geometry is identified and used to characterize the drape response in terms of the energy contained in a series of deformed rings. Results of the analysis include the prediction of drape configurations and an explanation of their nonuniqueness based on energy content.
