Uniaxial Tests of Limp Elastic Multi-Layer Materials
Abstract
The paper presents the effect of the width of a specimen cut out from coated fabric subjected to uniaxial tensile on the transverse deformation of the material. Tests were carried out for both uniform and split into three strips samples with a width of 100 mm according to the ISO 1421:1998 standard. The tests were carried out to verify the method of determining the mechanical properties of coated fabrics as supplied, based on the hypoelastic constitutive relation. The method is still being developed.
