Why is the trapezoidal tear test important?
Tear resistance is a critical measure of a material’s durability, particularly in applications where the material may be subject to punctures, cuts, or repeated stress.

Significance of connector extraction resistance
Extraction resistance is the connector’s ability to maintain a secure fit during use while still allowing disconnection when necessary. This is especially important where connectors are repeatedly mated and unmated, such as:

How the single rip trouser tear method works
The method takes its name from the specimen shape, where a single cut partway into the sample creates two ‘legs’, similar to the shape of a pair of trousers.

What is the grab method?
The grab method is a tensile testing technique where only the centre of a fabric specimen is gripped during testing — typically using 100 mm × 150 mm test specimens with a 50 mm wide clamp
