Epoxy-steel fiber composites : a simple model to predict the fiber sedimentation

Sedimentation of short steel fibers (SSFs) is an important phenomenon observed in the manufacture by casting of polymer/metal composites. Modeling of the fiber sedimentation has been a subject of research but hardly applied in the context of injection molds. In this study, the sedimentation velocity...
