Mechanics of Fibrous Materials and Applications - Physical and Modeling Aspects

The book explores the state of the art in the mechanics of fibrous media, providing an overview of the theoretical, modelling and practical aspects of designing and working with these materials. It also describes the advanced methods needed to handle their specific features, including the mechanics of generalized continua, dedicated homogenization methods and computational techniques, and presents applications of fibrous media to diverse fields and over a broad spectrum of scales, ranging from aeronautics to biomechanics.

List of contents

Mechanics of Random Fiber Networks: Structure-Properties Relation.- Prediction of the effective mechanical properties of regular and random fibrous materials based on the mechanics of generalized continua.- Heuristic homogenization of Euler and pantographic beams.- Simulation of continuous fibre composite forming.
