Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find out a parameter of swinging properties of moving flared skirts objectively from the appearance of the flared skirts in dynamic state. We took the appearance of the flared skirt with swinging by the CCD camera and analyzed the pictures with moving image processing system. The correlation between these swinging properties of flared skirts, and mechanical properties and subjective evaluation is examined. As a result, the appearance of a moving flared skirt is expected to be dominated by the amount of changeable hem width rather than the maximum hem width. The maximum hem width at turn-round angle 30 degrees has a tendency to be related to shear properties such as G, 2HG5 and 2HG and compound mechanical parameters and shear vibrational properties. On the other hand, the difference between the maximum and minimum hem width of a moving flared skirt at the same turn-round angle correlated to shear vibrational properties and bending vibrational properties such as d1, d2, S1 and S2. The ratio of dynamic hem width at turn-round motion to static hem width is correlated highly with subjective appraisals.
