Chapter 17, Problem 17.45P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect on the critical fiber length and strength of composites for the given conditions is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Relation gives critical length of fiber,

$I_c=\frac{T_{Sf}d}{2{\tau }_i}$

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

d is the diameter of fiber

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