Chapter 17, Problem 17.36P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The critical length of fiber for the condition at which it behaves like continuous fiber is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Relation gives critical length of fiber

  $I_c=\frac{T_{Sf}d}{2{\tau }_i}$

Where,

  $T_{Sf}$ is the tensile strength of fiber

d is the diameter of fiber

  ${\tau }_i$ is the strength of bond between fiber and matrix
