The distribution of fiber orientation is an important factor in determining the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced concrete. This study proposes a new image analysis technique for improving the evaluation accuracy of fiber orientation distribution in the sectional image of fibers reinforced concrete. The article is devoted to research the systematic evaluation of fiber-cuts through the image processing software. Mathematical representation of the final dispersal of fibers in steel fiber-reinforced concrete is incorporated into a programmed evaluation software. The software detects fibers and classified according to their axes of rotation angle and size of the identified ellipse detection area. Image processing algorithm and detecting fibers has been developed only for these research purposes. Detection area is randomly inserted via steel fiber reinforced concrete structure. The results show the average value of uniformity in the fiber-samples produced in the laboratory.

The study for strength calculation of one way fiber-reinforced composites and the study measuring precisely fiber orientation distribution were presented. However, because the DB that can predict mechanical properties of composite material and fiber orientation distribution by the fiber content ratio was not constructed, we need the systematic study for that. Therefore, in this study, we investigated what effect the fiber content ratio and fiber orientation distribution have on the strength of composite sheet after making fiber reinforced polymeric composite sheet by changing fiber orientation distribution with the fiber content ratio. The result of this study will become a guide to design data of the most suitable parts design or fiber reinforced polymeric composite sheet that uses the fiber reinforced polymeric composite sheet in industry spot, because it was conducted in terms of developing products. We studied the effect the fiber orientation distribution has on tensile strength of fiber reinforced polymeric composite material and achieved this results below. We can say that the increasing range of the value of fiber reinforced polymeric composite’s tensile strength in the direction of fiber orientation is getting wider as the fiber content ratio increases. It shows that the value of fiber reinforced polymeric composite’s tensile strength in the direction of fiber orientation 90° is similar with the value of polypropylene’s intensity when fiber orientation function is J= 0.7, regardless of the fiber content ratio. Tensile strength of fiber reinforced polymeric composite is affected by the fiber orientation distribution more than by the fiber content ratio.

The fiber-reinforced polymer composites are important alternative for conventional structural materials because of their excellent comprehensive performance and weight reduction. The mechanical properties of such composite materials are mainly determined by the fiber orientation induced through practical manufacturing process. In the study, a through process modeling (TPM) method coupling the microstructure evolution and the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composites in practical processing is presented. The numerical methodology based on the finite volume method is performed to investigate three-dimensional forming process in the injection molding of fiber-reinforced composites. The evolution of fiber orientation distribution is successfully predicted by using a reduced strain closure model. The corresponding finite volume model for TPM is detailedly derived and the pressure implicit with splitting of operators (PISO) algorithm is employed to improve computational stability. The flow-induced multilayer structure is successfully predicted according to essential flow characteristics and the fiber orientation distribution. The mechanical properties of such anisotropy composites is further calculated based on the stiffness analysis and the Tandon–Weng model. The improvement of mechanical properties in each direction of the injection molded product are evaluated by using the established mathematical model and numerical algorithm. The influences of the geometric structure of injection mold cavity, the fiber volume fractions, and the fiber aspect ratios on the mechanical properties of composite products are further discussed. The mathematical model and numerical method proposed in the study can be successfully adopted to investigate the structural response of composites in practical manufacturing process that will be helpful for optimum processing design.
