The EDANA Innovation Forum is a mix of presentations and insights, drawing from the nonwovens industry and from other forward-thinking industries. Beaulieu Fibres will also present.

Sophie Vandewalle, our Head of R&D Fibres will be sharing key insights on Fiber level together with Lode Daelemans, Professor Ghent University.

Title: Creating stronger nonwoven materials using mechanical simulations at the fiber level.

• Predictive Modeling: Development of a fiber-level finite element (FE) model for nonwoven geotextiles, based on Micro-CT scans and digital twin technology.
• Experimental Validation: Model calibration and validation against physical tensile tests, accurately predicting deformation and failure mechanisms.
• Parametric Fiber Studies: Numerical evaluation of key fiber properties—stiffness, yield strength, tenacity, elongation at break, and friction—without extensive physical testing.
• Efficiency and Innovation: A cost- and time-effective strategy to optimize fiber design and enhance non-woven material performance for geotextile applications.
