Durability evaluation of technical fabrics
PublicationA thorough examination of the influence of the conditions of use on the mechanical properties of technical fabrics is proposed. Laboratory experiments (uniaxial tensile, rheological, cyclic and biaxial tensile tests) have been conducted and the material’s parameters for Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations have been identified. Various constitutive models of technical fabrics are investigated and compared. On the basis of these...

Special model for coated woven fabrics.
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono podstawowe równania konstytutywne modelu sieci gęstej oraz podano parametry materiałowe dla dwu wybranych tkanin technicznych. Opisano specjalny model elementu skończonego w płaskim stanie naprężenia, który opisuje typowe właściwości tkaniny technicznej. Zaproponowano rozszerzony wariant modelu sieci gęstej, tzw. Warstwowy model sieci gęstej, w celu bezpośredniego uwzględnienia wpływu pokrycia.

Identification of Bodner-Partom model parameters for technical fabrics
PublicationThe thorough analysis of modeling technical fabrics behavior with the viscoplastic Bodner-Partom constitutive law is presented. The study has been focused on differences between the warp and weft direction of the material. To obtain the model’s parameters only the uniaxial tensile laboratory tests with three different, but constant strain rates are required. The parameters have been found for polyester fibers PVC coated fabrics:...

Testing of Technical Fabrics under Fast Camera Control
PublicationThe dynamic development of measurement and recording techniques has been changing the way one conceives material strength. In this study, two different methods of evaluating the strength of fabrics are compared. The first is the typical and commonly used technique based on the use of a testing machine. The second method uses the so-called “fast camera” to monitor the entire process of the destruction of a fabric sample and analyse...

Technical fabrics in costruction of large scale roofs - numerical and experimental aspects
PublicationDesigning and construction of textile hanging roofs is the challenging subject for engineers. This type of structure needs geometrically and very often also physically non-linear calculations. Due to different behaviour of two families of threads (warp and weft), which during deformation can change the angle between their directions, they require special constitutive modelling. Also the loading of hanging roofs is very special....

Layer-by-layer polymer deposited fabrics with superior flame retardancy and electrical conductivity
PublicationSmart and multifunctional textiles and fabrics are progressively developing, such that multifunctional fabrics are becoming more widespread. We elaborated herein multi-layered flax fabrics with superior flame retardancy and conductivity, which revealed fireproof feature while keeping conductivity during burning. The flax fabric was reinforced by layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of sodium polyacrylate (SPA), polyethylenimine (PEI),...

Influence of cyclic frozen and defrost on mechanical properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated woven fabrics
PublicationThis research aims to determine the influence of the cyclic process of freezing and defrosting on the mechanical properties of the chosen glass fibres and PTFE-coated woven fabrics. The specimens were subjected to freezing at about −20 °C for 4 h and thawing by full immersion into the water at about +20 °C for 4 h. The fabric samples after 25 and 50 frozen cycles were air-dried at room temperature for one week and then subjected...

Influence of service ageing on polyester-reinforced polyvinyl chloride-coated fabrics reported through mathematical material models
PublicationIn this paper the coupled service (constructional tension) and environmental (sunlight, rainfalls, temperature variations) ageing influence on the polyester-reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-coated fabric VALMEX is studied. Two cases of the same fabric have been analyzed: one USED for 20 years on the real construction of the Forest Opera in Sopot (Poland), and one kept as a spare material (NOT USED). The following tests have...
