Estimate the tensile strengths along the longitudinal and tr

Estimate the tensile strengths along the longitudinal and transverse directions of a T300-914-Ccomposite with a matrix volume fraction of 25 percentage and negligible void content. Assume a circular fiber, E_f = 230 GPa, v_r = 0.2, E_m = 4 GPa, v_m = 0.38, and a transition thickness of 0.8 mm. Recall that:

Solution

The density of the composite in terms of volue fraction can be found by considering the weight of the composite to composed of the weights of their constituent, the weights can be expressed in terms of their respective densities and volumes.applying the definitions of volume fraction the density of the composite, can be expressed in terms of their respective densities and volumes, applyimg the definitions of volume fraction the density of the composite, pc can be expressed in terms of the fiber density, and the matrix density.
