Comparison of Picture Frame and Bias-extension Tests for the Characterization of Shear Behaviour in Natural Fibre Woven Fabrics

Abstract
The investigation of the shear behaviour of technical natural fibres is vital for the insurance of aesthetics and
performance of light weight, high strength, and eco-friendly composites. In this study, Egyptian jute fibre plain weave fabrics of various areal densities were investigated to describe their shear behaviour in terms of shear forces, shear angles and shear lock angles, using the Bias-Extension and the Picture Frame test methods. Results show that both methods are valid for natural fibres and produce comparable results. Whereas the Bias-Extension test presents a fast and simple test procedure, the analysis of the results is more complex due to the interaction of non-shear components. On the other hand, the Picture Frame test proves to be time consuming and in need of a more complex test rig, but results in pure shear deformations throughout the sample.
