One of the most attractive attributes of discontinuous fiber-reinforced composites is the ease with which they can be manufactured in large numbers, using injection and compression molding processes. The main aim of this Special Issue is to collect various investigations focused on the processing of discontinuous fiber-reinforced composites and the effect that processing has on fiber orientation, fiber length and fiber density distributions throughout the final product. Papers presenting investigations on the effect that fiber configurations have on the mechanical properties of the final composite products and materials were welcome in the Special Issue. Researchers who model and simulate processes involving discontinuous fiber composites as well as those performing experimental studies involving these composites were welcomed to submit papers. The authors were encouraged to present new models, constitutive laws, and measuring and monitoring techniques to provide a complete framework on these groundbreaking materials and to facilitate their use in different engineering applications.Research & information: generalbicsscfiber reinforced plasticslong fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFT)sliding plate rheometerfiber microstructurefiber orientationdirect fiber simulationmechanistic modelfiber reinforced thermoplasticsmodelingshort fiber reinforcementprocess simulationsmoothed particle hydrodynamicscomposite foamsclosed cellsimage processingfinite element analysispolymer compositeslong fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFTs)core regionshell regionfiber length distribution (FLD)selective laser sinteringrecoatingPA6polyamideglassfibresbeadsorientationrecoating speedlayer thicknessenergy densitypARD-RSCshort fiber reinforcedmechanistic modellingCarbon nanotubesCNTsnanocompositeselectrical resistivityconductivityelectric fieldscomputational modellingcompression mouldingmoulding compoundsoptimisationwet laidisotropictensilecarbon fiberdiscontinuousrecyclinghybrid compositespolymer-matrix composites (PMCs)thermotropic liquid crystalline polymerglass fiberslong fiber reinforced plasticsfiber breakagefiber lengthadditive toolingadditive manufacturingrapid toolinginjection moldingpolypropylenelong-fiber-reinforced thermoplasticsfiber concentrationstereolithographycarbon fiber recyclinglightweight designlong fiber-reinforced thermoplasticsparameter-optimizationinjection molding compoundinglong fiber reinforced thermoplasticsfiber orientation modelscalibrationdiscontinuous fiber composites (DFC)compression moldingsheet molding compound (SMC)carbon fiber sheet molding compound (CF-SMC)randomly oriented strands (ROS)computed tomography (CT)direct fiber simulation (DFS)prepreg platelet molding compound (PPMC)tow-based discontinuous composite (TBDC)plastics processingcompositesglass fibersheet molding compoundlong fiberfiber contentResearch & information: generalOsswald Timedt601429Kuhn ChristophedtOsswald TimothKuhn ChristophothBOOK9910557729603321Discontinuous Fiber Composites, Volume II3024558UNINA
