Relationship Between Grab and Strip Tensile Strengths for Fabrics with Roughly Linear Mechanical Behavior

摘要

A theoretical analysis is presented here to study the relationship between strengths tested using grab and strip specimens. The shear and tensile stress distributions at the portion of the grab specimen not directly stretched are derived. The total force carried by this portion is calculated, providing the difference between the test results of the two specimen types. Although the analysis is still primitive, the results nonetheless establish a foundation for a parametric analysis to show the effects of the factors.
