The bowing phenomenon throughout a tenter was experimentally observed with a pilot plant of successive biaxial stretching. The observed results were compared with simulated ones, by which the deformation behaviors of film in a tenter were predicted, with the assumption that the film was homogeneous isotropic, homogeneous anisotropic, heterogeneous isotropic, or heterogeneous anisotropic for a two‐dimensional elastic body with an FEM. Comparatively good agreement between the simulated and observed results was obtained for a heterogeneous anisotropic elastic body with an initial mesh, involving in advance a plastic deformation part. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
