Theoretical approximation of hydrodynamic and fiber-fiber interaction forces for macroscopic simulations of polymer flow process with fiber orientation tensors

Flow processes of discontinuous fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are the essence of several polymer-based manufacturing processes. FRPs show a transient chemo-thermomechanical matrix behavior and fiber-induced anisotropic physical properties. Therefore, they are one of the most complex materials use...
