Improvement in Orientation Predictions of High-Aspect Ratio Particles in Injection Mold Filling Simulations

Glass fiber based polymer composites based injection molded parts provide a light-weight high-strength alternative for use in automobile applications. These composites have enhanced mechanical properties compared to those of pure polymers, if the fibers are oriented in the right direction. One of th...
