In the first part of this paper, the fabric buckling model proposed by Grosberg and Swani was modified by incorporating Huang's bilinear bending rule. This buckling theory is further extended to model the recovery behavior by incorporating the bilinear bending rule. This model removes the obvious inconsistency of earlier approaches. The recovery behavior computed from the proposed theory appears realistic and consistent with typical experimental results. The experimental validation of both buckling and recovery models is compared with similar models proposed by Grosberg and Swani. The agreement between experimental and theoretical behavior is fairly good and mostly consistent. Possible reasons for certain observed discrepancies are summarized.
