To investigate accuracy of intensity method for measurement of the fiber orientation distribution, fiber orientation function is calculated by drawing simulation figures for the fiber orientation as varying fiber aspect ratio, fiber area ratio, and fiber orientation state, respectively The values of fiber orientation function measured by intensity method are compared with the calculated values of fiber orientation function The results show that measurement accuracy of the fiber orientation angle distribution by intensity method is affected by the fiber aspect ratio when the total length of oriented fiber is same The average gradient of fiber orientation function is 0 94 for 1000 mm of the total fiber length and is 0 93 for 2000 mm when the fiber aspect ratio is over 50. Measurement accuracy by intensity method is about 95% and the reliable data can be obtained by intensity method
