Summary:Abstract Laminated fabrics are widely used in diverse industries because of their ability to adapt to many different functions. Understanding their tear force behaviour is critical to evaluate their serviceability. The tearing behaviour of laminated fabrics can be examined using high-speed imaging and analyzed using image analysis techniques. This technique is an attractive tool to elucidate the tearing behaviour of laminated fabrics. Through high-speed imaging it is possible to observe the tearing process on the fabric (e.g., yarns bearing the load before failure, yarn breaking behaviour) and membrane (e.g., pop-in crack length, crack propagation, formation of wrinkles, thinning) sides of the laminated fabrics to understand the tearing behaviour. In addition, this technique helps quantify different phenomena such as the membrane pop-in crack length, and crack wake bridging width by yarns. High-speed imaging analysis is a promising technique to visualize the tear phenomena in laminated fabrics.
