FLOW AND FIBER ORIENTATION CALCULATIONS IN REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC EXTRUDED TUBES

Résumé

A calculation of fiber orientation of reinforced thermoplastics in two tube die geometries is presented. The flow field and fiber motion are calculated using coupled anisotropic constitutive equation and equation of change for fiber orientation. A finite element method is used for the flow field computation, and a simplified characteristic method for the fiber orientation. Results show that fibers orient parallel to the tube axis in a classical die of constant radius in the final land whereas fibers have a more isotropic orientation in a die with a final divergent land. Experimental observations and quantification of fiber orientation in reinforced thermoplastic tubes extruded with the two dies are presented. Results of the calculation agree well with the experimental data for the classical die. For the diverging die, the agreement is good at the tube surface, but the calculation underestimates the degree of orientation perpendicular to the tube axis in the core of the tube.
