A micromechanics model is proposed for the elasticity of planar fiber networks (FNs). The FN is created by random deposition of linearly elastic straight rods within a region. The rods are …
To model fiber failures in random fiber networks, we have developed an elastoplastic Timoshenko beam finite element with embedded discontinuities. The method is based on …
The deformation and damage micromechanisms of a glass-fiber non-woven felt were analyzed with a combination of experiments and simulations. Tensile tests were carried out …

This paper presents a new micromechanical based approach for the modeling of the highly anisotropic and non-linear stiffening response of fibrous materials with random network …
The transition in random fiber networks from two-dimensional to asymptotically three- dimensional planar structure with increasing coverage c (mean fiber length per unit area) is …
The anisotropic properties and pressure sensitivity are intrinsic features of the constitutive response of fiber network materials. Although advanced models have been developed to …

We report simulations of two‐dimensional fiber networks of random geometry. The stress distribution along a fiber agrees with the mean‐field Cox prediction, but the stress transfer …
