A FRP composite includes 47% continuous and aligned Aramid fibers by volume. The moduli of elasticity of the Aramid fibers and the epoxy resin matrix are 19 * 106 psi and 0.6 * 106 psi, respectively.a. Compute the modulus of elasticity of the composite in the longitudinal and transverse directions.b. If the composite cross-sectional area is 0.5 in.2 and a stress of 12 ksi is applied in the longitudinal direction, compute the load carried by the fibers and the matrix.c. Determine the strain sustained by each of the phases when stress in part(b) is applied.
