Description

This notebook arose from research on the statistical geometry of stochastic fibre networks. Quite a lot of theory exists for the purely random case, based on a Poisson process, but little has been done for the non-random case when the fibres aggregate. Here we use CRAY-generated aggregation data and animate a sequence of networks passing through random dispersed and aggregated phases. The work on aggregation has applications in many industrial processes, for a discussion of the modelling of paper see the book by M. Deng and C.T.J. Dodson, "Paper: An Engineered Stochastic Structure" Tappi Press, Atlanta 1994. Reprinted from 1994 Mathematica Developers Conference, Champaign, Illinois.
