DISCONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITES - UME...

There are many books on composite material analysis  but most cover mainly continuous fiber
materials  rather than those filled with discontinuous fibers  which are particularly
attractive for large-volume and low-cost applications. This book provides the theoretical and
practical background to design and use discontinuous fiber-reinforced polymer materials  with
an emphasis on structural parts for the automotive industry. Moreover  the product of years of
collaborative work between industry and academia is presented in an easy-to-use  comprehensive
manner. The information provided makes it possible for someone with an engineering background
to understand the micromechanics of discontinuous fiber-reinforced materials and  hence 
analyze the structural performance of components designed with such materials. The book employs
a practical approach to cover the key  unique capabilities that are critical for a successful
structural analysis of discontinuous fiber-reinforced polymer structures: -Process simulation
to estimate the condition of fibers in the finished parts  i.e.  fiber length  orientation  and
concentration -Capability to measure micro structure  i.e.  fiber length distribution  fiber
orientation tensors  and fiber concentration  etc. -Estimation of material properties in the
part based on fiber condition  as well as environmental conditions such as temperature A broad
range of areas is included  such as joining and assembly.
