A tubular shaft similar to that shown in Figure 16.11 is to be designed that has an
Question:
Continuous fibers that are oriented parallel to the tube axis will be used; possible fiber materials are glass, and carbon in standard-, intermediate-, and high-modulus grades. The matrix material is to be an epoxy resin, and fiber volume fraction is 0.35.
(a) Decide which of the four fiber materials are possible candidates for this application, and for each candidate determine the required inside diameter consistent with the above criteria.
(b) For each candidate, determine the required cost, and on this basis, specify the fiber that would be the least expensive to use.
Elastic modulus, density, and cost data for the fiber and matrix materials are contained in Table 16.6.
