Fiber orientation models and closures

Project description

LICENSE Documentation Status PyPI version Black DOI Binder

Fiberoripy

This python package provides basic functionality and tools for fiber orientations and closure models.

For example, the Jupyter Notebook

example/orientation/comparison_perfectshear.ipynb

should reproduce Figure 2 in Favaloro, A.J., Tucker III, C.L., Composites Part A, 126 (2019):
