Abstract
In this paper, the change of fibre orientation that occurs during the moulding flow of a composite material, based on a thermoplastic matrix reinforced by chopped fibres, is investigated. The fibre orientation is described by a distribution function which is divided into two elementary distribution functions, each being concerned with part of the fibres. The model presents the changes of these functions, taking into account the interaction between all fibres and the transverse shear. The model agrees with experimental data obtained in the flow of composites in a plate-type compression moulding process.
