Short fibre reinforced metal-matrix composites (MMCs) produced by the liquid metal preform infiltration route exhibit a planar (2D) random fibre @'architecture@'. Generally the mechanical properties of such MMCs are determined from specimens whose axes lie parallel to the planar arrays and the effect of the anisotropic fibre distribution on mechanical properties is rarely investigated.
