Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) random fibrous materials exhibit extraordinary mechanical
properties due to their complex morphological characteristic of bonded fibre networks on the …

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 …

Understanding a mechanical behaviour of polymer-based nonwoven materials that include
large-strain deformation and damage can help to evaluate a response of nonwoven fibrous …

The microstructure studied in this paper is a Composite made up of Randomly oriented
Short Fibers (RSFC) and a computational homogenization is performed to investigate its …

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 …

Fibrous networks are encountered in various natural and synthetic materials. Typically, they
have random microstructures with complex patterns of fibre distribution. This microstructure …

In thermally bonded bi-component fibre nonwovens, a significant contribution is made by
bond points in defining their mechanical behaviour formed as a result of their manufacture …

Polypropylene (PP) is the homo-polymer that is widely used for production of non-woven
fabric. In the manufacture of polypropylene resins, considerable advances have been made …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) random fibrous (RF) materials with bonded networks
exhibit unique mechanical properties. In this paper, an inorganic RF material is fabricated …

A deformation behaviour of, and damage in, polymer-based thermally bonded nonwovens
was studied with a parametric finite-element model. Microstructure of the studied nonwoven …
