Calculate the modulus of elasticity of carbon–epoxy composite under isostrain condition if the composite consists of 40% carbon fibers and 60% epoxy by volume. Also, calculate the percentage of load carried by the carbon fibers.The moduli of elasticity of the carbon fibers and the epoxy are 350 and 3.5 GPa, respectively. Repeat under isostress condition.
A fiber-reinforced polymer composite under isostress condition consists of 35% fibers and 65% polymer by volume. The moduli of elasticity of the fibers and the polymer are 260 GPa and 3.4 GPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios of the fibers and the polymer are 0.25 and 0.41, respectively. Calculate the following:a. modulus of elasticity of the composite.b. percentage of load carried by the fibersc. Poisson’s ratio of the composite
"A fiber-reinforced polymer composite under isostrain condition consists of 35% fibers and 65% polymer by volume. The moduli of elasticity of the fibers and the polymer are 50 * 106 psi and 0.5 * 106 psi, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios of the fibers and the polymer are 0.25 and 0.41, respectively. Calculate the following:a. modulus of elasticity of the composite.b. percentage of load carried by the fibersc. Poisson’s ratio of the composite" Repeat for 45% fibers by volume.
