Question:

Alumina fibers, 2-cm-long, are incorporated into an aluminum matrix. Assuming good bonding between the ceramic fibers and the aluminum, estimate the thermal stresses acting on the fiber when the temperature of the composite increases 250°C. Are the stresses on the fibers tensile or compressive? The elastic modulus of alumina is 56 x 10psi.
