RISCompression of Fibrous Assemblies: Revisiting the Stress–Density Relation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many engineering materials are made from fibers, and fibrous assemblies are often compacted during the fabrication process. Compression leads to the formation of contacts between fibers, and this causes stiffening. The ...

Collagen Organization in Facet Capsular Ligaments Varies With Spinal Region and With Ligament Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The spinal facet capsular ligament (FCL) is primarily comprised of heterogeneous arrangements of collagen fibers. This complex fibrous structure and its evolution under loading play a critical role in determining the ...
Effect of Fiber Crimp on the Elasticity of Random Fiber Networks With and Without Embedding Matrices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fiber networks are assemblies of onedimensional elements representative of materials with fibrous microstructures such as collagen networks and synthetic nonwovens. The mechanics of random fiber networks has been the focus ...
A Coupled Fiber Matrix Model Demonstrates Highly Inhomogeneous Microstructural Interactions in Soft Tissues Under Tensile Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A soft tissue's macroscopic behavior is largely determined by its microstructural components (often a collagen fiber network surrounded by a nonfibrillar matrix (NFM)). In the present study, a coupled fibermatrix model was ...
