Abstract :
The effects due to percolation on the bulk electrical conductivity of Carbon Fibre Composites are studied in detail. To simulate the CFCs manufacturing process the fibres are placed randomly in the polymer matrix using Monte Carlo based simulation techniques. The electric conductivity of the CFCs was then analysed using finite element modelling.
