Abstract

Problem: To provide a sheet and a structural deformation-evaluating article comprising the same that allow for convenient and quantitative three-dimensional inspection of the deformation of an object. Resolution means: A sheet comprising a deformation-conforming section comprising a first pattern image, a deformation-non-conforming section comprising a second pattern image, and a deformation-mitigating section present between the deformation-conforming section and the deformation-non-conforming section, the first pattern image being visible through the second pattern image; and a structural deformation-evaluating article comprising the sheet are provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sheet comprising:
a deformation-conformable section comprising a stretchable layer and a first printed pattern image;
a deformation-non-conformable section comprising a transparent non-stretchable layer and a second printed pattern image; and
a deformation-mitigating section disposed between the deformation-conformable section and the deformation-non-conformable section, the deformation-mitigating section comprising a transparent viscoelastic layer;
the first pattern image being visible through the second pattern image such that a Moiré pattern is formed by the first printed pattern image and the second printed pattern image,
wherein when only the stretchable layer is drawn in an in-plane direction of the sheet, the stretchable layer breaks before the non-stretchable layer breaks.

2. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of a displacement of the deformation-non-conforming section is no more than 30% per 100% displacement of the deformation-conforming section.

3. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein
the stretchable layer exhibits a tensile strength of at least 0.5 MPa and no more than 100 MPa, and an elongation of at least 3% and no more than 200%,
the non-stretchable layer exhibits a tensile strength of at least 50 MPa and no more than 350 MPa, and an elongation of at least 1% and no more than 200%, and
the viscoelastic layer exhibits a tensile strength of at least 0.01 MPa and no more than 100 MPa, and an elongation of at least 10% and no more than 3,000%.

4. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein, when the stretchable layer breaks, the non-stretchable layer has an elongation of 0 to 35% relative to an elongation of the stretchable layer.

5. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the stretchable layer contains at least one type of polymer selected from the group consisting of polystyrene, polyolefin, olefin copolymers, vinyl copolymers, (meth)acrylic polymers, (meth)acrylic copolymers, and polyurethane.

6. The sheet according to claim 5 , wherein the stretchable layer contains (A) a carboxy group-containing (meth)acrylic copolymer and (B) an amino group-containing (meth)acrylic copolymer at an (A):(B) mass ratio of 10:90 to 90:10.

7. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the non-stretchable layer contains at least one type of polymer selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyolefin, polyvinyl, polystyrene, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polyimide, polyurethane, polysulfone, polyether, polyacetal, polyphenylene, polyepoxy resins, phenolic resins, nylon, and polycarbonate.

8. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the viscoelastic layer contains at least one type of polymer selected from the group consisting of polyolefin, olefin copolymers, vinyl copolymers, (meth)acrylic polymers, (meth)acrylic copolymers, polyurethane, and silicone polymers.

9. The sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the deformation-non-conforming section exhibits displacement of 3 mm or less when the deformation-conforming section is displaced 10 mm.

10. A structural deformation-evaluating article comprising the sheet described in claim 1 .
