Question:
Using an elementary mechanics of materials approach, find the micromechanics equation for predicting the minor Poisson's ratio, \(v_{21}\), for a unidirectional fiber composite in terms of the corresponding fiber and matrix properties and volume fractions. Assume that the fibers are orthotropic, the matrix is isotropic, and all materials are linear elastic. This derivation should be independent of the one in Problem 3.5.
Problem 3.5
Derive Equation 3.45.
