- In this paper, we discuss the challenges in modelling and simulating infinitesimal and large deformations of cellulose fiber networks, mainly in the context of the prediction of quality controls for paper.Understanding the influence and sensitivity of macroscopic production parameters like grammage and thickness of paperboard and understanding the influence of the fiber suspension on the quality of paper is important for the development of better papers and for preserving raw materials and energy.The new simulation framework consists of the virtual stochastic paper structure generator PaperGeo, that was integrated in the GeoDict 1 software suite, and the finite element solver FeelMath (Finite Elements for Elastic Materials and Homogenization) for solving the equations of elasticity. The fibers and the contacts are modelled by using geometrically exact beams of Simo-type [1].The microstructural model and the fiber network model are validated against standard measurements of existing papers in the following way: At first we perform tensile and bending tests to measure the macroscopic stress-strain relations. In the next step we apply a representative macroscopic stress or strain onto the boundaries of realizations of the stochastic fiber network model and compute by homogenization the effective (stiffness) coefficients. Finally we compare the numerical results with the measurements.This procedure can also be used for an identification of elastic parameters on the microscale and to study the sensitivity of the effective (macroscopic) stiffness with regard to the parameters of the microstructure

- BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor study 2013 (GBD 2013) is the first of a series of annual updates of the GBD. Risk factor quantification, particularly of modifiable risk factors, can help to identify emerging threats to population health and opportunities for prevention. The GBD 2013 provides a timely opportunity to update the comparative risk assessment with new data for exposure, relative risks, and evidence on the appropriate counterfactual risk distribution.METHODS: Attributable deaths, years of life lost, years lived with disability, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) have been estimated for 79 risks or clusters of risks using the GBD 2010 methods. Risk-outcome pairs meeting explicit evidence criteria were assessed for 188 countries for the period 1990-2013 by age and sex using three inputs: risk exposure, relative risks, and the theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL). Risks are organised into a hierarchy with blocks of behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks at the first level of the hierarchy. The next level in the hierarchy includes nine clusters of related risks and two individual risks, with more detail provided at levels 3 and 4 of the hierarchy. Compared with GBD 2010, six new risk factors have been added: handwashing practices, occupational exposure to trichloroethylene, childhood wasting, childhood stunting, unsafe sex, and low glomerular filtration rate. For most risks, data for exposure were synthesised with a Bayesian meta-regression method, DisMod-MR 2.0, or spatial-temporal Gaussian process regression. Relative risks were based on meta-regressions of published cohort and intervention studies. Attributable burden for clusters of risks and all risks combined took into account evidence on the mediation of some risks such as high body-mass index (BMI) through other risks such as high systolic blood pressure and high cholesterol.FINDINGS: All risks combined account for 57·2% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 55·8-58·5) of deaths and 41·6% (40·1-43·0) of DALYs. Risks quantified account for 87·9% (86·5-89·3) of cardiovascular disease DALYs, ranging to a low of 0% for neonatal disorders and neglected tropical diseases and malaria. In terms of global DALYs in 2013, six risks or clusters of risks each caused more than 5% of DALYs: dietary risks accounting for 11·3 million deaths and 241·4 million DALYs, high systolic blood pressure for 10·4 million deaths and 208·1 million DALYs, child and maternal malnutrition for 1·7 million deaths and 176·9 million DALYs, tobacco smoke for 6·1 million deaths and 143·5 million DALYs, air pollution for 5·5 million deaths and 141·5 million DALYs, and high BMI for 4·4 million deaths and 134·0 million DALYs. Risk factor patterns vary across regions and countries and with time. In sub-Saharan Africa, the leading risk factors are child and maternal malnutrition, unsafe sex, and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing. In women, in nearly all countries in the Americas, north Africa, and the Middle East, and in many other high-income countries, high BMI is the leading risk factor, with high systolic blood pressure as the leading risk in most of Central and Eastern Europe and south and east Asia. For men, high systolic blood pressure or tobacco use are the leading risks in nearly all high-income countries, in north Africa and the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. For men and women, unsafe sex is the leading risk in a corridor from Kenya to South Africa.INTERPRETATION: Behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks can explain half of global mortality and more than one-third of global DALYs providing many opportunities for prevention. Of the larger risks, the attributable burden of high BMI has increased in the past 23 years. In view of the prominence of behavioural risk factors, behavioural and social science research on interventions for these risks should be strengthened. Many prevention and primary care policy options are available now to act on key risks.FUNDING: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

- When liquid packaging board is made aseptic in the filling machine the unsealed edges of the board are exposed to a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide. A high level of liquid penetration may lead to aesthetic as well as functional defects. To be able to make a priori predictions of the edge wicking properties of a certain paperboard material is therefore of great interest to the paper industry as well as to packaging manufacturers. In this paper an extended multi-scale model of edge wicking in multi-ply paperboard is presented. The geometric and physical properties of the paperboard are modeled on the micro-scale, and include fillers and fines. The absolute air permeabilities and pore size distributions are validated with experimental and tomographic values. On the macro-scale random porosity and sizing distributions, time and sizing dependent contact angles, and inter-ply dependence are modeled. Arbitrary shapes of the paperboard are handled through an unstructured 3D surface mesh. Stationary and transient edge wicking simulations are validated against experiments with excellent agreement. The simulations show that the diffusive menisci between the liquid and air phases together with the two-ply model is necessary to achieve good agreement with the transient edge wicking experiments.

- Computer simulations are important to increase the knowledge of the processes involved in paper making. Because of the complexity of the paper processes the development of simulation tools requires models and numerical methods which capture as much as possible of the real physical phenomena. In this paper a framework for simulation of fiber suspension flow is presented. The framework is founded on a fluid solver for the Navier-Stokes equations and a fiber model based on finite strain beam theory including shearing. Moreover, the coupling between fibers and fluid is resolved with the immersed boundary method and the interaction between the fibers is calculated using a model based on DLVO-theory.

- To be able to simulate the different processes involved in paper machines, models, numerical methods and algorithms have to be developed which capture as much as possible of the real physical phenomena. In this paper a model for calculation of the chemical and physical interaction between objects included in a fiber suspension is presented. The contact force model is based on DLVO theory [1, 2] and uses so-called contact points distributed along the fiber suspension objects. The contact model has been used in an existing framework to simulate the build-up of low density paper webs. In the framework fibers are modeled as elliptical cylinders whose movements are described by finite-strain beam theory which includes shearing. The fluid flow is computed using a Navier-Stokes solver and immersed boundary methods are utilized to resolve the flow around each fiber. For validation, the air permeability and thickness of the paper webs have been measured and compared with simulated data. The result demonstrates that the software can be used to simulate paper forming.

- Paper forming is the first step in the paper machine where a fibersuspension leaves the headbox and flows through a forming fabric.Complex physical phenomena occur during paper forming due to theinteraction between fibers, fillers and fines as well as chemicalsadded to the suspension. Understanding this process is important forthe development of improved paper products because the configurationof the fibers during this step has a large influence on the finalpaper quality. Since the effective paper properties depend on themicro-structure of the fiber web, a continuum model is inadequate andthe properties of each fiber need to be accounted for in thesimulations.In the present work, a framework for microstructure simulation ofearly paper forming has been developed. The simulation frameworkincludes a Navier-Stokes solver and immersed boundary methods are usedto resolve the flow around the fibers. The fibers are modeled with afinite element discretization of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation ina co-rotational formulation. The contact model is based on a penaltymethod and includes friction as well as elastic and inelasticcollisions.The fiber model and the contact model are validated against demandingtest cases from the literature with excellent results. Thefluid-structure interaction in the model is examined by simulating anelastic beam oscillating in a cross flow. Finally, a simulation ofearly paper forming is performed to demonstrate the potential of theproposed framework. The unique modeling approach can be used toincrease the fundamental understanding of paper forming and supportprocess optimization.

A high level of liquid penetration may lead to aesthetic as well as functional defects. To be able to make a priori predictions of the edge wicking properties of a certain paperboard material is therefore of great interest to paper industry as well as to packaging manufacturers. The aim of this paper is to present a new analytical theory for prediction of the edge wicking properties of paperboard. The theory is based on Darcy’s law and the ideal gas law to describe the physical behavior of water flow in paperboard. The theory is compared to a recently published multi-scale framework and with pressurized edge wick experiments. The agreement is very good for paperboard samples of different sizes. The conclusion from the work is that both analytical theory and detailed simulations are useful to predict edge wicking properties of paperboard material.

- When liquid paperboard based package material ismade aseptic, unsealed edges of the board are exposedto a liquid front which in some circumstances may soakthe material to some extent. This is not desired since itmay lead to aesthetic as well as functional defects. Inorder to make a priori predictions of the edge wickingproperties of a given paper material, something whichis of great interest to paperboard industry as well aspackaging manufacturers, micro simulations are required.To calculate the penetration of fluid in the open edgeof a paper sheet a multi-scale framework is developed.On the fiber micro-scale, virtual paper models are generatedin PaperGeo [6]. In IBOFlow [7] a pore morphologymethod is used to calculate capillary pressurecurves, and the active pores one-phase flow simulationsare performed for relative permeabilities. Theresult is a database of capillary pressure curves andrelative permeabilities as functions of saturation andporosity. The database is used as an input for a twophaseflow simulation on a 2D virtual macro sheet tocalculate the penetration of fluid in the paper. Themulti-scale framework is validated against pressurizededge wick measurements with good agreement.
