A relation between tensile and tear strength for design of architectural fabrics

This paper presents a model that relates tensile and tear strengths for architectural fabrics used in tension membrane structures. Extension of the model is also presented as a means to use these two material strengths in establishing an allowable size of defects in a given field of stress.
