Abstract

A library of textile materials with diverse length scales encompasses helically arranged fibril assemblies, filament yarns, nonwovens to braids, which share structural commonalities and mechanics stemming from constituent entities while subjected to stretching. Herein, a generalized framework in the form of an analytical model for predicting the stress-strain behavior of textile materials that share structural similarities based on stretch-induced constituent entities has been proposed. A simple “Poisson's ratio” based criterion has also been devised to categorize the stretching-dominated or bending-dominated during tensile or compression deformation.
