A metal matrix composite consists of continuous silicon carbide fibres of radius 25 microns and volume fraction 0.35 embedded in a titanium matrix.
The strength of the fibres is described by the Weibull parameters m=6, 00=2500 MPa and Lo=0.025 m. The titanium has a shear yield stress of Ty=165
MPa. Determine the ultimate tensile strength of the fibres, of", in MPa to zero decimal places.
QUESTION 15
Two common failure modes for long-fibre composites under compression are microbuckling and fibre crushing. A CFRP has 0.47 volume fraction
of high-strength carbon fibres with a crushing strength of -3800 MPa. The epoxy matrix has a shear modulus of 2.5 GPa and a shear strength of
50 MPa. Determine the maximum fibre waviness angle (in degrees) that is allowed to ensure fibre-crushing occurs before microbuckling to 2
decimal places.
