A micro laminate, Arall, is produced using five sheets of 0.4-mm-thick aluminum and four sheets of 0.2-mm-thick epoxy reinforced with unidirectionally aligned Kevlar™ fibers. The volume fraction of Kevlar™ fibers in these intermediate sheets is 55%. The elastic modulus of the epoxy is 0.5 × 106 psi. Calculate the modulus of elasticity of the micro laminate parallel and perpendicular to the unidirectionally aligned Kevlar™ fibers. What are the principle advantages of the Arall material compared with those of unreinforced aluminum?
