Abstract
The behavior of polymeric materials reinforced by discontinuous. Descriptors for the planar and axial orientation distributions are discussed. Predictions of micromechanical models and experimental data are presented to illustrate the influence of orientation state upon elastic constants, thermal coefficients of expansion and tensile strength. Results are presented for the notched strength and compressive creep behavior of the glass/phenolic composite of two orientation states. Finally, the implications of these results upon the design of elements molded of discontinuous fiber composites are discussed.

The use of natural fibers as reinforcement in polymeric composites for technical applications has been a research subject of scientists during the last decade. There is a great interest in the application of sisal fiber as substitutes for glass fibers, motivated by potential advantages of weight sav
## Abstract **Summary:** In order to achieve better mechanical properties, most work on polymer/fiber composites has been focused on the importance of the chemistry used to modify the surface of the fibers and improving the adhesion between the fiber and the matrix using coupling agents. Our purpos
