Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) random fibrous materials exhibit extraordinary mechanical
properties due to their complex morphological characteristic of bonded fibre networks on the …

A physics-based nonwoven structure generation model is presented in this work. The model
is capable of incorporating the mechanical properties of the fibers in the simulations by …

Having a unique microstructure composed of randomly-oriented polymer-based fibres,
nonwovens exhibit complex deformation characteristics. The most prominent one is the …

Understanding a mechanical behaviour of polymer-based nonwoven materials that include
large-strain deformation and damage can help to evaluate a response of nonwoven fibrous …

This work presents a physics-based modeling technique to simulate the 3-D microstructure
of electrospun fibrous media with embedded spacer particles. The model accepts inputs like …

A numerical modeling method to reproduce the structures of needle-punched nonwoven
geotextile based on the actual manufacturing process (web formation and web bonding) …

Fibrous networks are encountered in various natural and synthetic materials. Typically, they
have random microstructures with complex patterns of fibre distribution. This microstructure …

Heat-bonded nonwoven geotextiles (HBNGs) made from synthetic fibers are widely used in
engineering practices. One of the challenges on the way is to link the properties of fibers and …

Mechanical properties of a 3D spacer fabric are determined both by mechanical properties
of its components and its unique structure. However, at present, there is no well-received …

In thermally bonded bi-component fibre nonwovens, a significant contribution is made by
bond points in defining their mechanical behaviour formed as a result of their manufacture …
