This paper reviews the main strategies used to simulate the mechanical behaviour of
nonwoven materials that is defined by a structure of their fibrous networks and a mechanical …

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 …

Hydrogels are finding increasingly broad use, especially in biomedical applications. Their
complex structure–a low-density network of microfibrils–defines their non-trivial mechanical …

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 …

Fibrous materials are versatile engineering materials that have been part of our daily lives
for centuries in the form of textiles, paper and packaging products, nonwoven fabrics and …

The quasi-static and dynamic mechanical behaviors of metal fiber sintered sheets (MFSSs)
with six relative densities and three fiber diameters at the strain rates ranging from 0.001/s to …

The paper considers the development of a supercomputer model of needle-punched felt
used in armor elements. The tensile deformation and failure of needle-punched felt is under …

The chapter presents a review of the state-of-the-art schemes used for numerical modelling
of fibrous networks. It starts with introduction of fundamental concepts such as definition of …

Nonwovens are engineered materials made of fibres randomly-oriented or aligned in
preferential directions, consolidated together by thermal, mechanical or chemical bonding …

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are a mechanosensitive, promising cell source for
cell and tissue engineering therapies. Day‐to‐day activities and normal physiological …
