The Fiber Orientation Angle Determination for a Composite Anisotropic Solid Rod in Pultrusion

Abstract

Obtaining equation for fiber orientation angle of a composite anisotropic solid rod with a circular cross section is presented in this paper. Anisotropic pultruded rods can be manufactured using a special technology complex, developed by the authors. To derive the fiber orientation angle the equations of structural mechanics were used, as well as specific approach to determine the shear modulus of the heterogeneous Fiber/Resin System.
