After several decades of research studies, design rules for fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) are now available for several structural elements. Starting from standard tests, it is possible to determine design parameters and ...

One of the main goals in the studies of fiber suspensions is the prediction of fiber orientation in a short fiber composite part, using the processing variables, mold geometry, and material characteristics. The rheological ...

The final properties of the composites materials are strongly dependent on the residual aspect ratio, orientation, and distribution of the fibers, which are determined by the processing conditions. Present work is a ...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites have been used in wide variety of applications including, aerospace, marine, sporting equipment as well as in the defense sector due to their outstanding properties at low density. ...

An experimental investigation of the processing of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is presented. Final fiber orientation distribution, fiber distribution in filament sections, rheological properties, final fiber length ...

Wood is generally considered an anisotropic material. In terms of engineering elastic models, wood is usually treated as an orthotropic material. This paper presents an analysis of two principal anisotropic elastic models ...
