Comparison of Constant-Force Increment and Constant-Rate Loading Protocols in Biaxial Tests of Coated Fabrics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Biaxial tension testing is an increasingly accepted tool to understand the mechanical behavior of architectural coated fabric membrane materials. However, different loading protocols in biaxial tests result in diverse ...
Investigations of the Mechanical Behavior of Naturally Weathered Envelopes Based on a Long-Term Service Airship
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Manufactured with a multilayer functional composite fabric envelope, lighter-than-air (LTA) airships offer a cost-effective approach for payload platforms. Considering the long-term service of LTA airships and their severe ...
