Forces and Structural Reinforcement
What you need to know
Analyze how textile materials behave under force or stress across diverse applications, such as active sportswear, geotextiles, and heavy-load bearing (e.g., rucksacks).
Understand how the strength, durability, and elasticity of textiles depend on both the fibre source and the construction method.
Explain how textiles can be functionally reinforced through laminating, bonding, and quilting.
Evaluate how chosen joining or fixing methods impact the overall strength and structural integrity of a textile product.
