Methods and Systems for Dynamic Wrinkle Prediction
First Claim
1. A method of predicting a dynamic wrinkle property of a material for incorporation with an upholstered article comprising:
- selecting a plurality of material property categories;
determining a material property for each selected material property category of a material;
assigning a dynamic wrinkle factor for each material property category based at least in part on the material property associated with the material property category;
applying a dynamic wrinkle weight value to each dynamic wrinkle factor to generate a weighted dynamic wrinkle factor for each material property category;
determining a predicted dynamic wrinkle score based at least in part on the weighted dynamic wrinkle factors; and
altering one or more material properties of the material if the predicted dynamic wrinkle score is below a benchmark value.

Abstract
Systems and methods for predicting a dynamic wrinkle property are provided. In one embodiment, a method of predicting a dynamic wrinkle property of a material for incorporation with an upholstered article includes selecting a plurality of material property categories and determining a material property for each selected material property category of a material. A dynamic wrinkle factor is assigned for each material property category based at least in part on the material property associated with the material property category. A dynamic wrinkle weight value is applied to each dynamic wrinkle factor to generate a weighted dynamic wrinkle factor for each material property category. The method further includes determining a predicted dynamic wrinkle score based at least in part on the weighted dynamic wrinkle factors and altering one or more material properties of the material if the predicted dynamic wrinkle score is below a benchmark value.
