A composite material consists of 60% glass fibre by volume (V₁ = 0.6). Half of the fibre is in unidirectional (0°) roving form and the other half is continuous fibre (0°, 90°) mat. The matrix is polyester. The properties of the constituent materials are shown in Table 4. Table 4 Density (Mg.m³) Tensile modulus (GPa) Tensile strength (MPa) Fibre 2.6 69 1200 i. Calculate the density of the composite material Matrix 1.1 2 35 ii. Calculate the tensile strength, oc, and the tensile modulus, Ec, of the composite in the 0° and 90° directions using the simple "rule of mixtures" approach.
