title = "PREDICTION AND CONTROL OF FIBER ORIENTATION IN MOLDED PARTS.",
abstract = "The problem of predicting the fiber orientation pattern in a part molded from a short-fiber reinforced polymer is formulated. The solution requires that a governing equation for the fiber orientation distribution function be integrated along the paths of fluid particles during mold filling. A set of simplifying assumptions is presented for thin compression-molded parts with fibers much longer than the part thickness. Example calculations agree with familiar qualitative rules for fiber orientation and with quantitative experiments on sheet molding compounds.",
