Influence of Glass fiber orientation on FE results for GF material models

Abstract

The plastic parts with glass fiber filled material behaviour is different from the parts with no glass fiber material. While considering the material data in Finite Element Analysis as multilinear isotropic but this assumption leads to inaccurate results from FEA. So to get better results, the steps needs to follow in FEA process are presented in this paper. In addition to this material properties other factors like, Geometry conditions, loads and boundary conditions, etc., are also have major influence on FEA results. However, the study in this paper is limited to 10% glass filled plastic parts only.
