In Example Problem 12.1, a uniaxial composite material is made into a circular rod Vbith a 1.27-cm diameter from 70 volume percent continuous carbon fibers and 30 volume percent epoxy. The rod is subject to an axial force of 100,000 N. The composite matcrial in Example Problem 12.1 is to be replaced with a less expensive composite made of 70 volume percent continuous E-glass fibers and 30 volume percent epoxy.
