Molding of Oriented Short-Fiber Composites. IV. Characterization of Fiber Orientation Patterns,

摘要

The various considerations underlying the specification and characterization of three-dimensional orientation distributions in moldings of short fiber reinforced polymers are discussed. The recommended treatment resolves the overall complex orientation pattern into distributions on a macroscopic and microscopic scale. Some examples,including the effects of molding conditions,are given for an end-gated rectangular bar plunger molded from fiberglass reinforced epoxy. (Author)
