Fiber tufts were modeled as random fibrous materials based on the statistical orientations of
the observed fibers. The tufts with different fiber properties were analyzed experimentally …

Stochastic two-dimensional elastic–plastic network models are used to represent the
inelastic deformation behavior of well-bonded paper. Linear kinematic hardening is …

The structure of paper influences its properties and simulations of it are necessary to
understand the impact of fiber and papermaking conditions on the sheet properties. We …

By using X-ray synchrotron microtomography imaging, this work aims at proposing a method
to get 3D information on paper fibrous microstructures. Such technique is useful to better …

In this study, a computational micromechanics material model for the unloading behavior of
paper and other nonwoven materials is presented. The asymptotic fiber and bond (AFB) …

Fiber networks are ubiquitous. The networks of interest to this study are distinguished from
the widely studied planar random fiber networks (RFN) by their low areal density …

It has been shown, in the present investigation, that the two methods used to investigate the
pore size distribution of unbleached chemical pulps, ie inverse size exclusion …

Paper is a kind of renewable material that exists widely and has important application
prospects. However, previous studies have mostly focused on the macromechanical …

The strength of paper is a multi-scale problem. Although paper is a thin product, its strength
depends on the characteristics of the microstructure in the thickness direction as well as the …

In manufacturing of paper and paperboard, optimized fiber usage has crucial importance for
process efficiency and profitability. Dry strength of paper is one of the important quality …
