| Summary |
There have been few attempts at experimental clarification of membrane materials' breaking processes. In this study， based on the assumption of various types of flaws that could develop in membrane materials during their manufacturing，processing and installation，the breaking processes have been examined with high-speed video to confirm the breaking speed, deformation extent， tensile strength， etc. The study clarifies the breaking processes through those experiments and describes methods for improving the reliability of membrane materials as structural members of buildings， thus contributing to the development of membrane materials with higher quality.
