Prediction of the electrical conductivity of two‐dimensionally misoriented short fiber composites by a percolation model

摘要: A percolation model combined with Monte Carlo method has been applied to two‐dimensionally misoriented short fiber composites the aim of predicting effective electrical conductivity composite. Then threshold volume fraction (VFth) at and above which composite becomes conductive was computed for several cases composites, i.e., from completely random reasonably well oriented composites. It found in this study that larger aspect ratio more randomly fibers are oriented, smaller value VFth becomes.
