A carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic composite material contains 64 percent by volume of carbon fibers and is stressed under isostrain conditions. The carbon fibers have a tensile modulus of elasticity of 372 GPa and a tensile strength of 2.14 GPa. The epoxy matrix has a tensile modulus of elasticity of 3.65 GPa and a tensile strength of 0.063 GPa. i. ii. iii. Calculate the tensile modulus of elasticity. Calculate the tensile strength of the composite material What fraction of the load is carried by the carbon fibers?
