Question

When a fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composite
plate is fractured in bending, what evidence may exist that
would indicate which side of the plate was in tension and
which side was in compression?

Expert Solution
Step 1 Fibre Reinforced Polymer matrix composite plate:

Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres may be of any material such as glass, carbon, aramid, wood, asbestos, jute, hair etc. These fibres can be natural or synthetic. This is an advanced technology in civil engineering used in bridges and buildings. A plethora of studies have been taken place and still going on FRP.
