Study of Deformation and Load-Carrying Capacity of Woven Materials under Uniaxial and Biaxial Loading

Scientific Report at NAS Presidium Meeting 11 July 2012

Abstract

The report presents the results of investigations of polymeric fibrous materials and woven fabrics based on them. Comprehensive experimental tests have been conducted on the materials belonging to this class, and the models to predict their mechanical behavior under unaxial and biaxial loading have been developed. Possible fields of application of these models, in particular in the design and calculation of the elements of details and constructions on the basis of textile structures, are considered.
