Development of biaxial tensile testing for porous polymer membranes

Porous polymer membranes are typically polymeric materials that consist of many pores and complex network structures. As a result of these features, the membranes sometimes undergo anisotropic elastoplastic deformation. Hence, it is important to investigate the deformation behavior of these material...
