Unofficial data and analysis of typical paraglider lines.

Codes:

DC unsheated dyneema data_dc.txt
DSL sheated dynema data_dsl.txt
LTC unsheated technora ARC coated data_ltc.txt
NTSL sheated technora data_ntsl.txt
PPSL sheated dyneema data_ppsl.txt

Data files in 11 columns:

1: Ref
2: Diameter (mm)
3: Strength min (daN)
4: Strength effective (daN)
5: Elongation at strength eff (%)
6: Elongation at10 daN (%)
7: Line creep at 10 daN (%)
8: Elongation at 30 daN (%)
9: Line creep at 30 daN (%)
10: Strength after 5000 bending cycles (daN)
11: Weigth (g/m)

Data analyzed graphically using gnuplot program. Attached is the file .gnu extension used by gnuplot. Usage: run gnuplot and load "file.gnu".
