  • Scientific Research Methods

OBS

Regarding material characterization, most work is centered around laboratory testing and adapting the many existing test methods for textiles to construction use tests. ... An example [of new techniques] is Rollins work with an image analyzer to characterize fabric as to the size and shape of the openings and details of clogging or blinding of the fabrics. Crack propagation in fabrics is also being studied on a fracture mechanics basis, indicating that many tools common to other areas are being used in fabric problems.
