Stochastic modeling of 3D fiber systems with fiber bundles and parameter estimation from CT image data

Non-woven materials are used in various applications such as surgical gowns, surgical masks, oil and air filters, vacuum cleaner bags, canal constructions, erosion control, shopping bags, etc. The physical properties like strength or efficacy of these products are highly influenced by the micro structure of the materials used. Realistic 3D models for a fiber system are required to analyze the micro structure of these products. These models help to study the influence of the micro structure on its macroscopic properties.
