Summary

This chapter presents results related to the interaction of fibers. In networks, fibers form crosslinks and develop contacts. The mechanical behavior of the crosslinks between athermal fibers and between thermal filaments is discussed, with emphasis on crosslink failure and strength. Contacts between fibers form either along the fiber length, within bundles of parallel fibers, or at specific sites where fibers cross at an angle. The mechanics of elastic contacts with and without cohesive interactions between fibers is reviewed. Sliding of fibers in contact is often encountered in networks and friction has strong effects on network mechanics. Several results related to friction at elastic contacts are reviewed.
