Characterizing the failure of parachute seams : the impact of stitch concentration and strain rate on ultimate tensile strength
Parachutes are commonly used in space mission landings. With increasing payloads, parachutes are getting larger, bearing larger loads and operating at faster speeds. Designing these devices requires a knowledge of aerodynamics, fluid flow, and the mechanical properties of cloth. A brief overview of …
