The Analyses of Pure Shear Behaviour of E-Glass Woven Fabrics by Picture Frame Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes an experimental study on the pure shear properties of E-Glass woven fabric by picture frame test. During shear deformation, the fabric yarns experience large angular change between warp and weft yarns. The picture frame test is one of the fundamental methods to characterize the in-plane shear behaviour of woven fabrics and can produce a quite uniform shear deformation state in the fabric sheet. Tests are conducted on two different size of EGlass specimens 40x40 mm and 80x80 mm. For a double increase the specimen size, the values of shear force and axial load are also almost double increase at the maximum displacement and shear angle.
