Tensile behavior of non-crosslinked networks of athermal fibers in the presence of entanglements and friction
Keyword(s):
A geometric definition of entanglements in athermal random networks is proposed and is linked to the network stiffness. Entanglements produce a self-equilibrated stress which increases the stiffness.
