A composite has 20 vol% fibres with E = 150 GPa in a matrix Em = 30 GPa. The matrix fails first at a failure strain of 0.1, where the composite stress is a, = V,afm + (1-V;) Om. The fibres fail next at a failure strain of 0.2, where the composite stress is a, = V,afı. What would be the maximum stress experienced by the composite if the load is parallel to the fibre direction? Assume both the matrix and the fibres deform elastically and subsequently undergo brittle fracture.

Question
A composite has 20 vol% fibres with E = 150 GPa in a matrix Em = 30 GPa. The matrix fails first
at a failure strain of 0.1, where the composite stress is a, = V,afm + (1-V;) Om. The fibres
fail next at a failure strain of 0.2, where the composite stress is a, = V,afı. What would be
the maximum stress experienced by the composite if the load is parallel to the fibre direction?
Assume both the matrix and the fibres deform elastically and subsequently undergo brittle
fracture.
