Abstract:In this work we propose a novel and fully automated method for extracting the yarn geometrical features in woven composites so that a direct parametrization of the textile reinforcement is achieved (e.g., FE mesh). Thus, our aim is not only to perform yarn segmentation from tomographic images but rather to provide a complete descriptive modeling of the fabric. As such, this direct approach improves on previous methods that use voxel-wise masks as intermediate representations followed by re-meshing operations (… Show more
