Abstract
There is an emerging interest in the aerospace industry to manufacture components with intricate geometries using discontinuous fibre carbon/polyether–ether–ketone moulding systems (obtained by cutting unidirectional tape into strands). This type of material system is termed randomly oriented strand composites and is appealing for structural applications as it bridges the gap between the lack of formability of continuous fibre composites and the lack of performance of short fibre composites. The objective of this study was to investigate mechanical properties (tensile, compressive, shear and fatigue) of randomly oriented strand composites and to quantify the effect of strand size on their properties. Overall, properties were found to be highly variable and dependent on the strand length. Interestingly, tensile, compressive and shear strength had similar magnitudes and exhibited the same failure mechanisms (strand fracture and debonding). This experimental work expands the knowledge base for randomly oriented strand composite materials.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
