The thesis studies the relationship between inter-fiber forces present within a cellulose fiber web under varying external conditions. It particularly concentrates on the degree of fiber to fiber bonding and fiber entanglement as a function of moisture content. Finite element analysis of the fiber bonding is used in conjunction with the experimental results to analyze and explain the inter-fiber behaviors taking place within a sheet.
