The Effects of Temperature and Humidity on Parachute Textiles

Abstract

The stress-strain diagram of a textile yarn is, essentially, a birds-eye picture of the manner in which it resists stretching. Generally the maximum force which can be exerted on it is its own ultimate strength; the amount of stretching required to call out that force is its ultimate elongation. These two parameters, ultimate, or rupture load and extension are really only the coordinates of one point in a plot of tensile response to strain. A proper evaluation of tensile behavior of textile fibers and yarns entails an appreciation of several other points and regions of the stress-strain diagram.
