In this paper we present a way how short fibre reinforced composites, produced by injection moulding, can be simulated in a linear thermoelastic setting, with an instationary heat equation. The main problem is the unknown stochastic fibre orientation. The only information known about this orientation field are the first moments of its distribution. (© 2016 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
