Types of Composite

Composite materials are formed by merging two components that have different chemical and physical properties. The merged output is termed as a composite, whose properties are completely different from the individual components. Composite materials also have better strength than the individual components.Composite materials usually have two main parts, reinforcement material, and matrix material. The matrix material acts as a binder and surrounds the fiber of another material that bears a much higher strength. This material is known as the reinforcement material. The matrix materials are usually high-strength additives resins, while the fibers of the reinforced material can be random, oriented, and in a mat format.Composite materials are also known as fiber-reinforced composite polymers because they are composed of the polymer matrix which is reinforced to laboratory-created fibers or naturally occurring fibers, such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, or aramid fibers. Under the application of external loads, the matrix material absorbs and transfers the loads to the fibers, these fibers in return provide good compressive strength, tensile strength, and stiffness to the fiber-reinforced composite materials.Depending upon the matrix and the reinforcement material, different properties can be induced to the fiber-reinforced composite materials, including good corrosion resistance properties. The most common matrix material is the resin while the glass fibers act as the reinforcement material. Strong fibers provide strength and stiffness to the composite materials while, a soft and flexible resin provides shape to the composite materials.

A trapezoidal channel with a base width of 20 ft and side slopes of 2H:1V (2 horizontal to 1 vertical) carries a flow of 2000 cubic feet per second at a depth of 8.0 ft. There is a smooth transition to a rectangular channel 20 ft wide accompanied by a gradual lowering of the channel bed by 2.0 ft. Calculate the depth of the water within the rectangular channel in feet using a solver. Choose the most appropriate of the two solutions and support your answer.
Water flows in a rectangular channel of width, w. In some cases, the water may suddenly increase in elevation as shown in the figure (from h1 to h2) through a highly disturbed region called a hydraulic jump. Assume the velocity is uniform at stations 1 and 2, and assume the pressures are distributed hydrostatically. (a) Using the conservation of mass and momentum, find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g. (b) Using the Bernoulli equation and whatever other necessary equation(s), find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g.

Explain.(c) For h1 = 1 m and V1 = 7:6 m/s, find the downstream height, h2, using whichever of the above approaches is the most correct. (Note that there are two valid solutions - explain.)
