In a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite, the ratio of fiber-to-matrix moduli is 30 and the fibers take up 50% of the cross-section. The percentage of applied force taken up by the fibers is _____.
Added by George P.
Step 1
This means that the fibers are 30 times stiffer than the matrix. Second, we know that the fibers take up 50% of the cross-section. This means that half of the composite is made up of fibers. When a force is applied to the composite, it is distributed between Show more…

Calculate the ratios of longitudinal modulus of the composite to the matrix for glass-epoxy and carbon-epoxy composites with 10% and 50% fibers by volume. The elastic moduli of glass fibers(GF), carbon fibers (CF) and matrix are respectively: 70, 350 and 3.5 Gpa.

In an aligned and continuous carbon fiberreinforced nylon 6,6 composite, the fibers are to carry $97 \%$ of a load applied in the longitudinal direction. (a) Using the data provided, determine the volume fraction of fibers required. (b) What is the tensile strength of this composite? Assume that the matrix stress at fiber failure is $50 \mathrm{MPa}$ (7250 psi).
