Sub Topics:
Representing Texture | Causes of Anisotropy
If the fibres are not all oriented in the same direction (i.e. short-fibre-reinforced composites) the properties depend on the distribution of their orientations. If the fibres are distributed randomly (mean orientation = 45°), the composite is isotropic. With increasing orientation in loading direction the strength increases parallel to the loading direction but decreases in the transverse direction.
