A constitutive model is presented for the in-plane mechanical behavior of nonwoven fabrics.
The model is developed within the context of the finite element method and provides the …

The monograph critically reviews most commonly used geotextile structures, their properties
and performance characteristics. In general, both natural and synthetic fibres are used for …

Geotextiles are widely used in civil and geotechnical engineering applications. In this study,
a comparison is made between the properties of the needlepunched nonwoven geotextiles …

It is difficult to establish a numerical model for a certain structure of electrospun nanofibrous
mats, due to their high porosity and non-linear characteristics, that can fully consider these …

Our early model for predicting nonwoven fabric stress-strain behavior by the finite element
method is generalized to include the effects of fiber curl, which is shown to have a great …

This chapter presents a step-by-step review on different damage prediction approaches for
woven and non-woven fabric composites. First, the characteristics of woven and nonwoven …

The mechanical properties of electrospun nanofiber membranes are critical for their
applications. A clear understanding of the mechanical properties that result from the …
