Impact Tensile Behaviors of PVDF Building Coated Fabrics

الملخص EN

The paper presents the impact tensile behaviors of two common building membranes (Ferrari 1002T2 membrane and XYD 300N membrane) in PVDF-coated-fabric membrane structures.

The tests are conducted using the split Hopkinson bar test device.

Typical forms of stress and strain are applied for comparing the stress-strain relationship between quasi-static and high strain rates.

Besides, the failure mechanism and energy absorption at high strain rates are discussed.

The results show that with the increase of strain rates, the growth rate of the stress of PVDF membrane decreases gradually, which is different from the stress-strain relationship in low strain rates.

At high strain rates, the ultimate tensile strength increases linearly with the increase of strain rates.

In addition, the energy absorption capacity of the material increases with the increase of strain rates.

The results can provide an important basis for the design and analysis of membrane structures under the impact loads.
