In this paper, we consider a new model for the simulation of textiles with frictional contact between fibers and no bending resistance. In the model, one-dimensional hyperelasticity and the Capstan equation are combined, and its connection with conventional hyperelasticity and Coulomb friction models is shown. Then, the model is formulated as a problem with the rate-independent dissipation, and we prove that the problem possesses proper convexity and continuity properties. The article concludes with a numerical algorithm and provides numerical experiments along with a comparison of the results with a real measurement
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
