- The paper demonstrates a novel application of digital image correlation to the tensile and shear testing, and computational modelling, of fabric reinforced elastomer composites of the architecture type used in inflatable membrane structures. The experimental techniques employed and the material property data generated have significance for those designing or deploying such composites in flexible membrane structures. The study was supported by industrial manufacturer, Trelleborg AB (Gerard.mchale@trelleborg.com, technical manager) through materials supply, and the work follows on from previous PhD work (Aboshio, A, Lancaster 2014), collaborative with Trelleborg Dunlop, UK and sponsored by the Nigerian Petroleum Technology Development Fund (ptdf.gov.ng)
