Original Abstract

The paper introduces a novel clamp adapter with the goal to improve the quality of the tensile test setup for high-modulus multi-filament yarns. Common tensile test machines damage the yarns initially or prematurely due to non-uniform load introduction which causes stress concentrations. As a result, the theoretical yarn strength (perfectly clamped filaments at a unique length and no initial damage) is underestimated. With the new clamp adapter, higher strengths close to the theoretical values can be measured since the adapter largely eliminates the problems with non-uniform load introduction. A test series comparing yarns strengths tested with the clamp adapter and with commonly used test methods has been performed and the results are discussed in this paper. Furthermore, they are compared with theoretical values using the Daniels fibre-bundle model.
