In studying the compression of loops of fabric between flat parallel plates, the problem arises of the compression of bends. A ‘bend’ is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. Two bends are joined to form a loop. The material is postulated to yield in bending such that the bending moment where B is a bending rigidity, KI the current impressed curvature, and KR the ‘remanent’ curvature. This remanent curvature is the free, or natural curvature in the material caused by its past and present deformation. We study the case when the remanent curvature that is, the remanent curvature is proportional to the greatest previously impressed curvature. We call equations (1) and (2) the ‘Remanent Curvature Hypothesis’.
