Abstract
The microstructure of fiber glass bundles used in the direct sheet molding compound (D‐SMC) was investigated in a flat plaque mold. Analyses of the bundle deformation, including bending and deformation of the tow shape, were done for the charge and specific sites within a square plaque part for 30% and 62% of initial charge mold area coverages. Microscopy and micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) of the samples clarify the microstructure of the bundles after flow. Samples were taken at different flow locations within the plaque corresponding to increasing flow length from the center. The bundles at the part edge and corner deform more than the bundles close to center of the mold in both initial charge cases. The bundles flattened at all positions and bundle bending was mainly observed at the corner. The tow width changes and tow deflections were higher in the samples of 30% mold area coverage. The micro‐CT images showed that the bundles keep their cohesion and stay straight within the middle of the flow path position, but bend at the edge of the mold. Mold filling simulation using Moldflow™ (Autodesk) predicted fiber tow orientation through the thickness using the reduced‐strain closure (RSC) models for fiber distribution for 30% and 62% initial mold area coverage. The measured value of orientation from micro‐CT images confirms the random orientation through the thickness, consistent with the RSC model. POLYM.

Full frame distilled prediction
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
