Network Modelling for Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Cellulose Fibre Fluff
A network mechanics model for cellulose fibre fluff is proposed. 2D and 3D versions of the model have been implemented and the influence of various micro-level parameters on the global mechanical performance has been determined by means of computer simulations. Model networks composed of bonded fibres of arbitrary distribution in length, curvature, cross-section, stiffness and strength were inves
