Development of Drape Simulation Software and the Optimisation of Variable-Length Textiles
… Preform quality is largely determined by the draping operation, which may be modeled to better inform the design of PMC components. A draping simulation software was developed in this thesis, which can simulate the draping of textiles onto model surfaces using the kinematic draping algorithm. …

Evolution of coronal mass ejections through the heliosphere
… anisotropy instabilities, magnetic field draping and plasma depletion. These results underscore important physical processes which alter the ICME environment.

An analytical relationship between the magnetospheric potential drop and the ionospheric conductance
… simple two-dimensional model of a magnetic field draping around the tail magnetopause. Two methods are used: (1) matching currents through the tail magnetopause and the Earth's ionosphere in analogy with the Alfven wing at the Jovian satellite Io, (2) minimizing the total power that the solar wind …

Low frequency plasma waves at Mars
… plasma temperature anisotropies arising from the draping of the solar wind magnetic field around the ionosphere. The nightside magnetosheath shows evidence for resonant ion instabilities arising from the interaction of the solar wind plasma with the ionospheric plasma. These waves are therefore an …

Eulerian on Lagrangian Cloth Simulation
… traditionally difficult cloth scenarios, such as draping and sliding cloth over sharp features like the edge of a table. A traditional Lagrangian approach models a cloth as a series of connected nodes. These nodes are free to move in 3d space, but have difficulty with sliding over hard edges. The …

Influence of Strand Debonding on the Shear Strength of Prestressed Concrete
… useful when section geometries prohibit draping such as U-beams. Based on concerns regarding shear strength, the AASHTO bridge design specification currently limits the percentage of strands that can be debonded. These limits have been found in practice to limit both the efficiency and …

Transforming shape: a simultaneous approach to the body, cloth and print for garment and textile design (synthesising CAD with manual methods)
… design development and realisation, where draping software was employed to digitally craft 3D textiles. The practical and aesthetic characteristics of digital printing were tested through the printing of photographic-style, integrated garment prototypes. The design outcomes demonstrate that …

Inhabiting the Skin
Appreciation of the natural light, air, and scenery outside the built interior environment spurs the architect's desire to "bring the outside in". (Lately, floor-to-ceiling glazing is the most popular way of doing this.) Appreciation of what can be found "in the wall" also inspires the architect. …
