Linear viscoelastic theory is used to analyze fabric shear behavior under high shear strain conditions (up to maximum shear angles of 20°). A fabric trellis shear test method yields shear relaxation data as well as residual shear strain. Interfiber frictional stress in fabric shear under high shear strain conditions is evaluated.
