Three‐dimensional simulation of nonwoven fabrics using a greedy approximation of the distribution of fiber directions

Abstract: An elementary algorithm is used to simulate the industrial production of a fiber of a 3-dimensional nonwoven fabric. The algorithm simulates the fiber as a polyline where the direction of each segment is stochastically drawn based on a given probability density function (PDF) on the unit sphere. This PDF is obtained from data of directions of fiber fragments which originate from computer tomography scans of a real nonwoven fabric. However, the simulation algorithm requires numerous evaluations of the PDF. Sinc… Show more

“…For future work the superposition of multiple fibers forming a 3D microstructure and its height distribution should be investigated. Therefore, a three-dimensional fiber laydown model based on stochastic differential equations can be used as described in [32] or a construction of 3D nonwovens using a greedy approximation of the distribution of fiber directions as derived in [33].…”
