The
influence of structural parameters of coated fabrics and laminates on the
breaking force, elongation, tensile energy during their stretching in various
directions and types of failure has been studied. It is observed that the
tensile properties of coated fabrics and laminates depend not only on the
structural characteristics of their base layer but also on polymer film and
degree of its penetration into the base layer. The analysis of stress-strain
curves and fabrics fracture shows three types of fabrics distortion, namely
instantaneous, continuous for sometime and breaking of fabrics separate layers
at different durations. The tensile direction for coated fabrics and laminates
has considerable influence on tensile characteristics.
