Mesh Generation of Nomex Honeycomb Material

J. SJÖLUND, J. FREUND

Abstract


The aim in this paper is to discuss the geometrical modelling of a Nomex honeycomb material using the concept of near-regular textures. The starting point is a scanned image of a representative cellular structure, which is processed to get for the texture description a structural unit and mappings. These can be taken as a concise description or recipe of a material having microstructure. Then multiple samples with the same statistics but slightly different geometry can be generated from a single scanned sample.
