Abstract
Fracture behavior of a nonlinear coated woven fabric material is studied. Some Mode 1 crack extension data of monolayered and laminated sheets of this material are presented. It is shown that by proper graphical "shifting" of the experimental data, the fracture behavior of the monolayered and laminated nonlinear fabric materials can be explained in view of the Hedgepeth [1] linear discrete fracture theory. 1 A product of Uniroyal Industrial Coated Fabrics, Mishawaka, Indiana. 2In the shear test the relative distance of the sliding sides was maintained constant.Keywords
