Course content
Lectures: 1. Introduction - basic terms, definitions and relations of mechanics, solids and deformable bodies, continuum and structural mechanics. 2. Fiber orientation - description of orientation in space, orientation in sections, model of orientation in a plane. 3. Stochastic theory of fiber-to-fiber contacts - their density according Wyk, and distribution. 4. Compression of fibrous material - model according Wyk, its generalization, corrections. 5. Tensioning of parallel fiber bundle - generalization of Hamburger's theory for a general number of components. 6. Tensioning of fiber bundle - bundle with variable strength, strain and fiber waviness. 7. Tensioning of multi-axial textiles - stress-strain curve, strength and breaking strain of fibers, fiber systems and whole multiaxial textiles, regular multiaxial textiles. 8. Textiles with continuous distribution of fiber directions - forces in fibers and textile, influence of fiber orientation to mechanical properties, textiles with preference of one fiber direction. 9. Yarn strength and gauge lengths - weakest link principle, stochastic model of independent strengths of a short and long sections, Peirce, Weibull. 10 Yarn strengths as a stationary, ergodic, Markovian, and Gaussian random process. Practices: Applications of lectures, examples.
