Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Strength of Materials
  • Physics
  • Rheology
CONT

Sufficient elongation at break to withstand local penetration by stones and to provide a good safety margin once the fabric is under stress. In unpaved structures, fabric deformation frequently ranges between 5 and 15 percent. At such levels of deformation the in-plane tensile stress of Typar® as well as the remaining strain to maximum load are important.
