Fiber Orientation Distribution Predictions for an Injection Molded Venturi-Shaped Part Validated Against Experimental Micro-Computed Tomography Characterization

Fiber Orientation Distribution Predictions for an Injection Molded Venturi-Shaped Part Validated Against Experimental Micro-Computed Tomography Characterization

This work evaluates and compares the accuracy of different fiber orientation prediction models for a short fiber reinforced injection molded Venturi-shaped part which displays variable thickness. The experimental characterization of the specimen fiber orientation distribution (FOD) was carried out b...
