Biaxial Testing for Fabrics and Foils Optimizing Devices and Procedures /

This book offers a well-structured, critical review of current design practice for tensioned membrane structures, including a detailed analysis of the experimental data required and critical issues relating to the lack of a set of design codes and testing procedures. The technical requirements for b...
