Calculate the fiber volume fraction required in a certain unidirectional E-glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite, where the fibers are expected to carry 92% of load along the fiber direction. If the modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of the glass fiber is 72.8 GPa and 3200 MPa and that for epoxy is 3.4 GPa and 86 MPa respectively, also calculate the tensile strength of the composite
