The usefulness of ‘hidden' units of specific stress

The evolving unity of structural mechanics in stretch-dominant textile architectures

“…It should be noted that the unit of fibrous assembly or fiber stress is Pascals. Translating stresses to specific stresses can be attained by using the standard definitions discussed elsewhere 10 and given below:…”

“…It should be noted that the unit of fibrous assembly or fiber stress is Pascals. Translating stresses to specific stresses can be attained by using the standard definitions discussed elsewhere 10 and given below: where q and qf are the specific stresses of the fibrous assembly and constituent fibers (for example in N/tex), respectively, and ρ and ρf are the densities of the fibrous assembly and constituent fibers, respectively.…”
