Chapter 17, Problem 17.27P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of volume of fiber, fiber strength,fiber orientation, and modulus on the properties of fiber reinforced composite should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Composites are formed when two or more material of different properties combines.

Fiber reinforced composites are defined as the composites composed of fibers introduced in matrix. The fiber introduced in matrix can be of continuous type and discontinuous type.

1.Continuous type fiber are defined in which properties do not vary with the length.

2. Discontinuous type fiber are defined as in which the properties of fiber vary with length.
