Improvement of Finite Element Analysis simulations

This project is based around improving the accuracy of Finite Element Analsyis (FEA) simulations for natural fiber composites. Currently working on a model that will introduce irregularity to the simulation, matching the physical variability seen in natural fibers. 

The goal is to develop models that will accurately simulate the mechanical behavior of natural fiber composites until failure.

In the figures below, the red color indicate regions of high stress, and the blue color indicates regions of low stress.
