A comparison of the proposed distribution with the optical micrographs in Fig. 3 is satisfactory. It is obvious that the volume fraction, f, is: f ˆ pr2 `2 …3† A measure of the space between the whiskers is the diameter of the circle that ®ts into this space, which has been denoted d6. We can then follow: ÿ dk ‡ 2r 2 ˆ 2`2 …4† and ®nally: dk ˆ r   2p f s ÿ 2  …5† Table 3 shows a comparison between measured and calculated values of d6, using r = 0.5 mm. Good agreement is obtained for samples containing 10 and 20 vol.% whiskers. For ANL15 and ANL30, the measured values are slightly higher than the calculated ones, probably due to an imperfect distri￾bution of whiskers. To a ®rst approximation, there is a direct propor￾tionality between d_ and d6, at least over the com￾position range in this study, as shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, by using d_=ld6, l being a constant, and equation (2), the following is obtained: deff ˆ  d2 ?dk 3 q ˆ l2=3 dk …6† where in this case l11.5, obtained by regression of the data in Fig. 5.

It should be valid over a range of compositions similar to the one used in this study. The value of l can be related to the homogeneity of the distribution of reinforce￾ments, and to the whisker aspect ratio. When using the same type of whiskers and similar processing techniques, l is expected to vary a little from the value reported in this study. Fig. 5.
