Fiber network mechanics is a subject within physics and mechanics that deals with the deformation of networks made by the connection of slender fibers,.[1][2] Fiber networks are used to model the mechanics of fibrous materials such as biopolymer networks[3][4] and paper products.[5] Depending on the mechanical behavior of individual filaments, the networks may be composed of mechanical elements such as Hookean springs,[6] Euler-Bernoulli beams,[7] and worm-like chains.[8] The field of fiber network mechanics is closely related to the mechanical analysis of frame structures, granular materials, critical phenomena, and lattice dynamics.
