The behavior of loosely woven fabrics differs significantly from other types of woven fabrics. Its unique characteristics have been successfully utilized for the correct operation of some recently developed occupant protection devices for the automotive and heavy machine and truck industry. However, this behavior cannot be efficiently modeled using the currently available material models within a finite element analysis scheme. Therefore, the aim of this work is to present the basic of formulation of a material model for the analysis of loosely woven fabrics and its implementation in a general-purpose explicit finite element code. To assess the performance of the model, results from the simulation are presented and compared to real test data.
