SNATCH-TEARING OF FABRICS: COMPARISON OF SIX FABRICS.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0809250 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The snatch-tearing method developed by Swallow and Mikolajewski has been used to compare the response to a tearing agency of six biaxially-tensioned fabrics. The sum of the warpwise and weftwise torn lengths has been taken as the criterion of tear. Analysis of variance has been made and response equations determined, characterising the length of tear in terms of the significant factors. The dependence of tear length on energy input is closely linked with the breaking strength of the fabric. The relationship for the six fabrics is very close to the hyperbolic form. Author
