Filament-length-controlled elasticity in 3D fiber networks.
We present a model for disordered 3D fiber networks to study their linear and nonlinear elasticity. In contrast to previous 2D models, these 3D networks with binary crosslinks are underconstrained with respect to fiber stretching elasticity, suggesting that bending may dominate their response. We find that such networks exhibit a bending-dominated elastic regime controlled by fiber length, as w...
متن کاملOrigins of elasticity in intermediate filament networks.
Intermediate filaments are common structural elements found in abundance in all metazoan cells, where they form networks that contribute to the elasticity. Here, we report measurements of the linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity of networks of two distinct intermediate filaments, vimentin and neurofilaments. Both exhibit predominantly elastic behavior with strong nonlinear strain stiffening. We...
متن کاملNonlinear elasticity of semiflexible filament networks.
We develop a continuum theory for equilibrium elasticity of a network of crosslinked semiflexible filaments, spanning the full range between flexible entropy-driven chains to stiff athermal rods. We choose the 3-chain constitutive model of network elasticity over several plausible candidates, and derive analytical expressions for the elastic energy at arbitrary strain, with the corresponding st...
متن کاملElasticity of Poissonian fiber networks
An effective-medium model is introduced for the elasticity of two-dimensional random fiber networks. These networks are commonly used as basic models of heterogeneous fibrous structures such as paper. Using the exact Poissonian statistics to describe the microscopic geometry of the network, the tensile modulus can be expressed by a single-parameter function. This parameter depends on the networ...
متن کامل3d Printing with Natural Fiber Reinforced Filament
An initial study of 3d printing with compound filament using different plastic matrices and sugar cane bagasse as the filler was conducted. In order to do this, a reverse engineering process was made to several 3d printer extruders to determine how to change the extruder in order to be able to print with the filament. To obtain the filament, a plastic extruder was modified to obtain a compound ...
