Notes:
The bursting strength and inflated deflection of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), oriented polypropylene (OPP), flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and polyurethane (PUR) films of different thicknesses were investigated with the pneumatic bursting method. The study showed the bursting air pressure is directly proportional to the thickness of LLDPE, OPP, and PET films. The effect of different membrane diameters on the change of the bursting properties in OPP and PUR film was also investigated. The results showed that the bursting properties are inversely proportional to the membrane diameter. Furthermore, biaxial stress-strain exerted on the pole region of the tested films was studied. The results denoted that the relationship between the biaxial and uniaxial tensile stress-strain was considered for two types of film: (1) Film that presented an isotropic tensile behavior showed that the tangential stress-strain is higher than the tensile stress-strain. (2) Film that presented an anisotropic tensile behavior showed that the tangential stress-strain is determined by the weaker tensile stress-strain values between two directions.
