This script explicitly includes the parameters such as fiber length, diameter, orientation, distribution, and fiber volume fraction. Straight or curved/wavy fibers with random curvatures can be generated to closely approximate fiber morphology in the matrix.

Comments on files are added for users to understand the script & variables used. • VolumeFraction.m: Finding fiber volume fraction in composite & generating text file to be used in colormaps.m. • Colormaps.m: Generates Color Map. • StraightThickThinFibers: Generates straight fibers which could be thin or thick depending upon user’s input. • CurvedThickThinFibers: Generates curved fibers which could be thin or thick depending upon user’s input. • StraightFiberInterfaces: Generates straight fibers and interfaces. • CurvedFiberInterfaces: Generates curved fibers and interfaces. • circles.m: Function file for generating curved fibers and/or interfaces. This file is necessary to be in the current directory to generate curved fibers with or without interfaces.

Please refer to the User Guide for additional information.
