Abstract:BODY:Abstract (200 words): The ability of fibrous media to mitigate sound waves is controlled by their transport properties that are themselves greatly affected by the geometrical characteristics of their microstructure such as porosity, fiber radius, and fiber orientation. Here, the influence of these geometrical characteristics on the anisotropic transport properties of random fiber structures is investigated. First, representative elementary volumes (REVs) of random fiber structures are generated for differ… 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.
