## Abstract A computer simulation has been developed to predict the orientation of fibers in a thin, flat part that is compression molded from sheet molding compound. The simulation combines a finite element/control volume simulation of the mold filling flow, a second order tensor representation of
The resistance to cleavage cracking of a regular array of short fibers was discussed through R-curve analysis. The final failure of the fiber array associated with the unstable crack advance across it occurred when the balance of the rates of the energy release rate and the fracture resistance was r
