A Numerical Model to Predict the Anisotropy of Polymer Composites Reinforced with High-Aspect-Ratio Short Aramid Fibers

Some fiber types have a high aspect ratio and it is very difficult to predict their composites using traditional finite element (FE) modeling. In this study, an FE model was developed to predict the anisotropy of composites reinforced by short aramid fibers. Three fiber distribution types were studi...
