RISEffect 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 ...
