Pattern morphology in the elastic sewing machine

A Geometric Model for the Coiling of an Elastic Rod Deployed Onto a Moving Substrate

We report results from a systematic numerical investigation of the nonlinear patterns that emerge when a slender elastic rod is deployed onto a moving substrate; a system also known as the elastic sewing machine (ESM). The discrete elastic rods (DER) method is employed to quantitatively characterize the coiling patterns, and a comprehensive classification scheme is introduced based on their Fou...

In the main text, we noted that the shape parameters (characteristic length, Λ, and loop radius, Ro) of the patterns only depend weakly on the deployment height. To resolve this height dependence of the pattern length scales, we have performed a series of numerical simulations where we have varied the normalized deployment height, H̄, while keeping the gravito-bending length fixed at Lgb = 3.3 c...

Interactive Editing of Upholstered Furniture

Fast visualization of industrial parts for rapid prototyping is nowadays eased by the fact that CAD construction data is readily available in most cases. Upholstery constitutes an important exception as its shape is not given a priori but the result of complex physical interactions between hard bodies, soft cushioning and elastic sheets. In this paper we propose an interactive visualization and...
