5. Calculate the bending coupling (B) matrices for a [0/90] and a [0/90], laminate made of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy. The fiber and matrix have a Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of Ef = 380 GPa, vf = 0.20, Em = 3.2 GPa and vm = 0.43 respectively. The laminae have a volume fraction of V = 65%, and each lamina has a thickness of 1.0mm. If these plates are bent to have a curvature of K = [0.01, 0.01, 0] mm-1, what is the corresponding average axial load in the plate? (20 points)
