Stochastic reconstruction of filament paths in fibre bundles based on two-dimensional input data

Conventional optical microscopy is an inexpensive technique to analyse fibre bundle micro-structures. Compared to micro-computed tomography, the resolution is higher and larger samples sizes can be analysed. This provides, for example, detailed information of filament spacing which will affect subse...

description Conventional optical microscopy is an inexpensive technique to analyse fibre bundle micro-structures. Compared to micro-computed tomography, the resolution is higher and larger samples sizes can be analysed. This provides, for example, detailed information of filament spacing which will affect subsequent properties. This paper proposes a probabilistic method to reconstruct paths of individual filaments from a series of two-dimensional micrographs. This allows three-dimensional filament arrangements to be reconstructed and the effects of local arrangements on properties to be quantified. For example, for the small sample analysed in this work, a 15% difference in strength values was found.
