- Particularly attention is here given to crack growth in opening mode in fiber networks. Low- and high-density cellulose fiber materials are used in synchrotron X-ray microtomography tensile experiments to illustrate phenomena arising during crack growth. To capture the observed fundamental mechanisms, significantly different from classical continua, a mechanical model based on a strong nonlocal theory is applied in which an intrinsic length reflects a characteristic length of the microstructure. Nonlocal stress and strain tensor fields are estimated by analytical solutions on closed form to a modified inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation using LEFM crack-tip fields as source terms. Justified by experimental observations, physical requirements of finite stresses and strains at infinity and at the tip are applied to remove singularities. The near-tip nonlocal hoop stress field is used to estimate crack growth directions and sizes of fracture process zones. Experimental observations are shown to be qualitatively well in accordance with numerical predictions, which justifies the adopted approach.

- Fracturing two-dimensional random fiber networks of different densities (porosities) were statistically analyzed using both high-resolution finite element models and image analysis algorithms. Under small strains, the finite element fracture models revealed that networks with high relative densities were able to localize evolving fractures to small cracks while surprisingly larger cracks were required to localize fractures in networks of lower density. Further, it is indicated that the pore size distribution in fiber networks is rather diverse and can be captured using two mixed Gamma distributions; one part describing the background size distribution containing the vast majority of pores, and a second part describing the size distribution of larger pores and open regions. The second part covers less than 5% of the total network area but seems to be of paramount importance for the network's global fracture behavior. It seems as a fiber network's crack sensitivity is related to the average pore size in the second part of the mixed Gamma distribution. The analysis is remarkably consistent with reported experiments.

- The fracture process in two fiber network materials, a low- and a high-density paper, is analyzed experimentally and numerically. The high-density paper is able to localize continued fracture to very small defects while a rather large defect is required in the low-density paper. Whereas the high-density paper has a homogeneous and limited variation in local mass density, the low-density paper is substantially more heterogeneous and has a higher local mass density variation. It is hypothesized that these fairly large regions of lower mass density govern the fracture process in paper and similar fiber network materials. A nonlocal fracture model is applied to describe and capture this length scale phenomenon and intents to simulate forces bridged over distant regions in the material via connected fibers. The suggested fracture hypothesis is consistent with experiments and hence offers an explanation to why network materials with different mass density variation may fracture differently.
