9) Consider a layered biocomposite (see Figure) in which a crystalline phase (dark) is alternating with amorphous phase (light). The volume fraction of the crystalline material is 0.3 and the Young's modulus of the crystalline and amorphous fractions are 50 GPa and 50 MPa respectively. Find effective Young's modulus in perpendicular direction and to the composite. Compare this result to effective Young's modulus in parallel direction to the composite.
