This paper proposes a model for calculating relaxation behavior after dynamic load ing of fabric and of warp yarns. The model is based on fitting the parameters of an extended nonlinear Maxwell model to experimental data using nonlinear regression. Combining the models for fabric and warp yarns can yield the viscoelastic behavior of the fabric-yarn combination, as well as the cloth fell displacement during the re laxation period.
