An epoxy is randomly reinforced with E-Glass fibers with 0.0012 in. diameter, 0.5 in. length, 0.5 * 106 psi ultimate tensile strength, and 7.2 ksi shear strength. Does this fiber length fully strengthen the composite? What is the minimum fiber length that would make the composite continuously reinforced?
A fiber-reinforced polymer composite under isostrain condition consists of 35% fibers and 65% polymer by volume. The moduli of elasticity of the filers and the polymer are 50 X 10 psi and 0.5 x 10® psi, respectively, and the Poison's ratios of the fibers and the polvmer are 0.25 and 0.41, respectively. Calculate the following: a. modulus of elasticitv of the composite. b. percentage of load carried by the fibers c. Poison's ratio of the composite
IV- It is necessary to design a continuous and aligned glass fiber-reinforced polyester having a tensile strength of at least 1400 MPa in the longitudinal direction. The maximum possible specific gravity is 1.65. Using the following data, determine whether such a composite is possible. Justify. Assume a value of 15 MPa for the stress on the matrix when the fibers fail. Material Glass fiber Polyester Specific gravity 2.5 1.35 Tensile strength (MPa) 3500 50
