The objective of this research was to gain a better understanding of tensile properties of epoxy resin composites reinforced with glass fiber. The effect of fiber orientation & thickness of laminates has been investigated & experimentation was performed to determine property data for material specifications, the laminates were obtained by hand layup process. The laminates were cut to obtain AST...

The mechanical behavior of soft connective tissue is governed by a dense network of fibrillar proteins in the extracellular matrix. Characterization of this fibrous network requires the accurate extraction of descriptive structural parameters from imaging data, including fiber dispersion and mean fiber orientation. Common methods to quantify fiber parameters include fast Fourier transforms (FFT...

FOD image to each registered subject, using affine registration (A) and multichannel demons (B). Fig 1: Images of the posterior corpus callosum, with and without finitestrain reorientation of the fiber orientation distributions (FODs) following a 45 degree rotation. Note that without reorientation the principle directions of the FODs do not coincide with the underlying anatomy. Featured based D...
