It is necessary to fabricate an aligned and discontinuous glass fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile
Question:
It is necessary to fabricate an aligned and discontinuous glass fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 1200 MPa (175,000 psi) using a 0.35 volume fraction of fibers. Compute the required fiber fracture strength, assuming that the average fiber diameter and length are 0.015 mm (5.9 × 10-4 in.) and 5.0 mm (0.20 in.), respectively. The fiber-matrix bond strength is 80 MPa (11,600 psi), and the matrix stress at composite failure is 6.55 MPa (950 psi)?
