A similarity rule of the draped figures for sheets was investigated by using a model of the FRL drape test. In this paper, we have devised the model which joins the cantilever type to the umbrella type model. The joint part of the model, called the line-joint model, produced the torsional deformation on the draped figures. Results obtained were as follows:
1) Each similarity rule of the spiral models with the torsional deformation was found in a group of homogeneous and textile materials individually,
2) When the line-joint model replaced the point-joint part of the FRL draped model in the previous paper and the material is draped at the line-joint part, the similarity rule of each material was found in the same manner as the spiral model.
3) In the future, when the relationship among the draped figures, the resistant force (P
3) except the resistant forces against the bending (P
1) and the compression (P
2) will be investigated, the homogeneous and textile materials have to be studied separately.
