Question:
Compute the longitudinal strength of an aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a 0.25 volume fraction of fibers, assuming the following: (1) an average fiber diameter of 10 ( 10-3 mm (3.94 ( 10-4 in.), (2) an average fiber length of 5 mm (0.20 in.), (3) a fiber fracture strength of 2.5GPa (3.625 ( 105psi), (4) a fiber-matrix bond strength of 80MPa (11,600psi), (5) a matrix stress at fiber failure of 10.0MPa (1450psi), and (6) a matrix tensile strength of 75MPa (11,000psi).
