Abstract
To determine the fibre orientation state in short-fibre-reinforced thermoplastics, polished cross-sections are examined. If a circular cross-section is assumed for the fibres, they are pictured as ellipses on the intercepting plane. The picture evaluation is done by image analysis which uses an analysis program specially developed for this problem. User-defined parameters allow an adjustment of the evaluation algorithm, so that fully automated picture processing is possible. To describe the fibre-orientation state orientation tensors are used. Under some assumptions about the fibre orientation state, which are well met in regular plastic components, all tensor components can be obtained from one inclined polished cross section. Measurements on experimental components are made by using the described analysis procedure and confirm the validity of the assumptions.
