  Abstract

Automobile airbags have become mandatory safety components in many countries. In this study, the PA66 (polyamide 66) airbag fabric was tested with and without a surface coating of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Cyclic loading and unloading experimental conditions were defined according to the loading characteristics of the airbag deployment process. To determine mechanical properties such as elastic modulus and stress-strain curves for the two materials, biaxial loading/ unloading cyclic tensile tests were carried out using a DIC (Digital Inspection Camera) to monitor the field strain process. Quadratic polynomial regression was used to fit material constitutive models of each loading and unloading process to the test data. The material subroutine VUMAT was encoded and applied to the simulation of the biaxial tensile testing of the fabrics. There was good agreement between the experimental and simulation results, which verifies that the quadratic polynomial constitutive material model is suitable for the study of coated and uncoated PA66 automobile airbag fabric. Hence, the material behaviour of automobile airbag fabrics can be modelled accurately.
