Paper Mechanics: Strain Distributions and Fracture

Stochastic fibrous structure induces stochastic strain fields under mechanical deformation or during drying

Small strain elastic behaviour

Mechanical strains correlate with mass

Drying strains correlate with mass

Large strain plastic deformation

Fracture of bonds begins early

VIC techniques give deformation maps
