The carbon fibers have a modulus of elasticity of 50(106) lb/in² and a density of 0.069 lb/in³. The epoxy matrix has modulus of elasticity of 0.61(106) lb/in² and a density of 0.042 lb/in³. What is the volume fraction of (a) the carbon fibers and (b) the epoxy matrix in the sample? Assume there are no voids in the sample. What is the predicted value for the modulus of elasticity (c) in the longitudinal direction and (d) the perpendicular to the carbon fibers?
