Numerical modelling of damage initiation in low-density thermally bonded nonwovens

Due to random orientation of fibres and presence of voids in their microstructure, low-density thermally bonded polymer-based nonwovens demonstrate complex processes of deformation and damage initiation and evolution. This paper aims to introduce a micro-scale discontinuous finite element model to s...
