摘要
A computer simulation has been developed to predict the orientation of fibers in a thin, flat part that is compression molded from sheet molding compound. The simulation combines a finite element/control volume simulation of the mold filling flow, a second order tensor representation of the fiber orientation state and a finite element calculation for the transient orientation problem. Sample results and comparison with experiments are presented. Predictions compare favorably with experiments on SMC (sheet molding compound) plaques and a model suspension of nylon fibers and silicon oil. Copyright © 1990 Society of Plastics Engineers
