Contemporary understanding of fiber-fiber contacts is vital in diversifying the applications of fiber networks. Various properties of fiber networks rely on the architecture, which essentially requires encapsulating realistic features arising from excluded volume effects. Herein, an architectural-based interfiber spacing model of ‘generalized’ fiber networks has been proposed by combining the geometrical probability, stochastic, and excluded volume approaches. The interfiber spacing model features the classical work of excluded volume approach of Onsager, superimposed on Komori and Makishima's theory of fiber-fiber contacts. The significance of the interfiber spacing model relies on its ability to systematically demystify the anomalies in Onsager's work for random networks composed of exceedingly low-aspect-ratio fibers. Nevertheless, a good agreement between the theory and experiments justified that Onsager's excluded volume approach is sufficiently robust to predict the interfiber spacing of moderate to high-aspect-ratio fiber networks.

当代对光纤-光纤接触的理解对于光纤网络应用的多样化至关重要。光纤网络的各种属性依赖于架构，这本质上需要封装由排除的体积效应产生的真实特征。在此，通过结合几何概率、随机和排除体积方法，提出了一种基于架构的“广义”光纤网络的纤维间间距模型。纤维间间距模型以 Onsager 的排除体积方法的经典工作为特色，叠加在 Komori 和 Makishima 的纤维-纤维接触理论之上。纤维间间距模型的重要性取决于它能够系统地揭开 Onsager 工作中的异常现象，这些异常是由极低纵横比纤维组成的随机网络。尽管如此，
