Abstract: This article presents the displacement field produced by a point force acting on an athermal random fiber network (the Green function for the network). The problem is defined within the limits of linear elasticity, and the ...

Abstract: Fiber-based materials are prevalent around us. While microscopically these systems resemble a discrete assembly of randomly interconnected fibers, the network architecture varies from one system to another. To identify the ...

Abstract: In this work, we study the effect of network architecture on the nonlinear elastic behavior and strength of athermal random fiber networks of cellular type. We introduce a topology modification of Poisson–Voronoi (PV) ...

Abstract: Connective tissue mechanics is highly nonlinear, exhibits a strong Poisson's effect, and is associated with significant collagen fiber re-arrangement. Although the general features of the stress–strain behavior have been ...
