The Analyses of Pure Shear Behaviour of E-Glass Woven Fabrics by Picture Frame Test

This paper describes an experimental study on the pure shear properties of E-Glass woven fabric using the picture frame test. During the shear deformation, the fabric yarns experience large angular change between warp and weft yarns. The picture frame test is one of the fundamental methods to characterize the in-plane shear behaviour of woven fabrics and can produce a quite uniform shear deformation state in the fabric sheet. Tests are conducted on the E-Glass specimens of two different sizes: 40 × 40 mm and 80 × 80 mm. For a double increase in the specimen size, the values of shear force and axial load are also almost double at the maximum displacement and shear angle.
