Abstract:Fiber length has a strong impact on the mechanical properties of composite materials. It is one of the most important quantitative features in characterizing microstructures for understanding the material performance. Studies conducted to determine fiber length distribution have primarily focused on sample preparation and fiber dispersion. However, the subsequent image analysis is frequently performed manually or semi-automatically, which either requires careful sample preparation or manual intervention in the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
