Abstract
A model is presented for the pore radius distribution in isotropic near-planar stochastic fibre networks. At a given areal density, the mean pore radius of two-dimensional random networks is shown to decrease with increasing fibre width and to increase with increasing fibre linear density.
For structures with a structural component in the third dimension the standard deviation of pore radii is shown to be proportional to the mean for changes in areal density and porosity in agreement with data reported in the literature. At a given porosity, near-planar networks exhibit an increase in mean pore radius with increasing fibre width and linear density.
