A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite is to be produced consisting of 30 vol% aramid fibers and 70 vol% of a polycarbonate matrix; mechanical characteristics of these two materials are as follows: Modulus of Elasticity (GPa) Tensile Strength (MPa) silicon Carbide 400 3600 Polycarbonate 2.4 65 Also, the stress on the polycarbonate matrix when the silicon Carbide fail is 45 MPa. For this composite, compute a) The longitudinal tensile strength b) The longitudinal modulus of elasticity

Compute the longitudinal strength of an aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a $0.20$ volume fraction of fibers, assuming the following: (1) an average fiber diameter of $6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~mm}\left(2.4 \times 10^{-4}\right.$ in. $),(2)$ an average fiber length of $8.0 \mathrm{~mm}(0.31$ in. $),(3)$ a fiber fracture strength of $4.5$ GPa $\left(6.5 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{psi}\right),(4)$ a fibermatrix bond strength of $75 \mathrm{MPa}(10,900 \mathrm{psi}),(5)$ a matrix stress at composite failure of $6.0 \mathrm{MPa}$ (870 psi), and (6) a matrix tensile strength of 60 MPa $(8700$ psi).
