The fibers orientation in the polymer matrix is an important factor determining mechanical properties of products made of composites by means of an injection molding process. The fibers arrangement has an effect on shrinkage of the composite and the dimensional accuracy of molded piece. The knowledge of fiber orientation can determine the proper dimensions and design of the molding cavities and then correct some of physical and mechanical properties of the molded piece. The orientation of fillers depends on many factors, among which the important role play processing parameters including the injection speed. The aim of this study was to assess the orientation of the fibers in wood-polymer composite on the selected examples. The knowledge and proper use of micromechanical models allow to evaluate the fibers flow and their orientation in polymer matrix. The research was performed both for numerical simulations and experimental studies for results verification.
