The book introduces a novel Direct Bundle Simulation (DBS) method for simulating Sheet Molding Compounds (SMC) at the component scale. This approach leverages the tendency of fiber bundles to maintain their configuration during the compression molding process, enhancing the understanding and application of discontinuous fiber reinforced composites. The focus on low-cost production of composite parts with long fibers highlights the practical significance of this research in the field of materials engineering.
