- Abstract:
- The investigations presented in this paper focus on the simulation of push-out tests on a long fibre reinforced thermoplastic (LFT) manufactured in a compression moulding process. The microstructure of LFT is strongly influenced by the manufacturing process and shows inhomogeneous distribution and orientation of the glass fibres. Figure 1 shows the surface of a polished specimen, which has been cut normal to the melt flow direction.
The influence of geometrical parameters like, e.g., fibre arrangements and fibre misalignment is still not fully understood. For the interpretation of experimental data the afore-mentioned parameters must be taken into account. Therefore, a numerical study is performed to determine these influences on the mechanical behaviour in push-out experiments. - Download:
