Chopped fiber composite analysis
Chopped fiber composite analysis
(OP)
I was curious if there was a simple way to analyse a chopped fiber random orientation composite. Can it be analysed nearly correct as an isotropic material? Idea being to make a with a chopped carbon epoxy paste and squeeze it into a mold.

I may have some data in an old buried archive.

Come to think of it, say you where moulding a bucket shape, you would not disrupt the orientation across the bottom in any way but the thickness direction, but the sides would be oriented a bit in line of draw as the core pushed into the cavity.
