Abstract
In this paper, a new anisotropic high viscosity model using a particle method is proposed to analyze the carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTP) press molding process. Anisotropy of viscosity is considered with fiber orientation vector, and LSMPS method is used to improve reliability and usability. Analysis of a simple cube pressing process demonstrates the capability of the present method to analyze anisotropic high viscosity flows without vitiating the incompressibility.
