Abstract
The mechanical properties of nonwoven materials are investigated and optimized. On the micro scale these fabrics are modeled as network of beams. Here linear Timoshenko beams and geometrically exact beams are compared in simple tension tests. Then a homogenization scheme is used to calculate effective material tensors of Kirchhoff-Love plates, where periodically repeatable representative volume elements containing fiber networks define the micro structure. Finally, these effective properties are optimized by changing the shape of the underlying network.
