This thesis investigates the mechanical virtual modelling of highly porous non-woven materials with anisotropic mechanical behaviour, developed in collaboration with the R&D centre of Procter & Gamble in Schwalbach am Taunus, Germany. Within the market, non-woven materials are widely used in P&G products, where reliable prediction of mechanical performance is essential to support product design, guide material development, and ensure functionality and quality across a broad range of application scenarios. Effective virtual modelling helps reduce time to market, minimize the need for extensive physical testing, and lower prototyping costs. To support the modelling work, a literature review was carried out to explore the current state of research in mechanical modelling of non-wovens, with particular attention to their behaviour under compressive and bending loads.
