Question:

It is desired to produce an aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 750 MPa (109,000 psi). Calculate the volume fraction of fibers necessary if (1) the average fiber diameter and length are 1.2 × 10-2 mm (4.7 × 10-4 in.) and 1 mm (0.04 in.), respectively; (2) the fiber fracture strength is 5000 MPa (725,000 psi); (3) the fiber-matrix bond strength is 25 MPa (3625 psi); and (4) the matrix stress at fiber failure is 10 MPa (1450 psi).
