Abstract: In order to gain some insight the precracked tearing behavior of biaxial warp knitted fabric coated with PVC under multiaxial tensile loads, the influences of the shape and size of sample, the precracked length and direction under multiaxial loads are observed and analysed. The results show that the fabric has rather isotropic behavior while the sample is round. Better loads bearing ability is exhibited at the deflection direction even without reinforcing yarns at that direction. It has also found that the precracked tearing strength decreases with increase of the initial crack length, and that the effect of the initial crack orientation depends on its position relative to the tensile direction.
