A discontinuous fibre reinforced composite consists of 20mm long carbon fibres in a polymer matrix. The volume fraction of the composite is 0.5, interfacial shear strength 5MPa and the critical fibre length 2.5mm. The fibre modulus is 250GPa and strain to failure 1.5%. The matrix modulus is 3.5GPa and failure strain 10%. Calculate the tensile strength of the composite in the fibre direction.
