Abstract

The impact tensile behaviors of four parachute cloths have been studied experimentally by using Split Hopkinson Tensile Bars (SHTB). The force/strain curves at different loading velocities as well as the fracture mode are obtained for each material. Obvious loading rate effect was observed for both the strengths and the failure strains. The three Nylon silks are fractured mostly at the root of specimen/clamps connections and the Aramid silk is inclined to fracture in the middle of the specimen and in the shear direction.
