A simple model describing the non-linear biaxial tensile behaviour of PVC-coated polyester fabrics for use in finite element analysis

Interactive effect between warp and weft of a woven ramie fabric under biaxial loadings

“…Furthermore, advancements have been made in simulating static mechanical properties of woven fabric and reinforced composites, mainly their non-linear and elastic behavior, by using biaxial experimental methodology and finite element analysis (Galliot & Luchsinger, 2009;Huang, 2000;Pargana, Lloyd-Smith, & Izzuddin, 2007;Potluri & Thammandra, 2007).…”

A simplified stress–strain model for coated plain-weave fabrics used in Tensioned Fabric Structures

“…Simplified linear material models have been developed by Blum and Bögner [1] and Galliot and Luchsinger [9] amongst other, as well as for a number of commercially used software. While these models allow for simple treatment of the mechanical response of fabrics they have accuracy limitations, which results in a limited confidence in any structural analysis of TFS.…”

Biaxial Testing for Fabrics and Foils

“…The scientific production of these research groups in the last decade allowed the validation of the effectiveness of the plane biaxial test based on cruciform samples (Reichard et al 1953;Checkland et al 1958;Klein 1959;Freeston et al 1967;Bridgens et al 2004a), the development of a framework of reference for the necessary tests (Blum et al 2004;Bridgens et al 2004b;Galliot and Luchsinger 2010a, b), the analysis of the principal parameters involved in a testing procedure (Bridgens 2005), the investigation of innovative models of calculus and representation Gosling and Bridgens 2007;Galliot and Luchsinger 2009;Galliot and Luchsinger 2010a, b;Uhlemann and Stranghöner 2013) and the reliability of the current procedures and equipment (Uhlemann et al 2011;Bridgens et al 2012).…”
