Question:

Compute the longitudinal strength of an aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a 0.25 volume fraction of fibers, assuming the following: (1) an average fiber diameter of 10 × 10-3 mm (3.94 × 10-4 in.), (2) an average fiber length of 5 mm (0.20 in.), (3) a fiber fracture strength of 2.5 GPa (3.625 × 105 psi), (4) a fiber-matrix bond strength of 80 MPa (11,600 psi), (5) a matrix stress at fiber failure of 10.0 MPa (1450 psi), and (6) a matrix tensile strength of 75 MPa (11,000 psi).
