Q#04 (a) : What are composite materials? Discuss the functions of Re-inforcing agent and
matrix materials.
(b) : Name different types of advanced fibres.
Glass fibres provide longitudinal reinforcement for a nylon material subject to tensile load. The fibre diameter is 20 μm and the volume fraction is 0.45. (Take Young’s modulus of glass fibres as 70 000 MPa and nylon as 2800 MPa)(i)Calculate the Young’s modulus of composite(ii)Determine the tensile strength in the glass fibre if the tensile strength of the composites and matrix is 14 MPa and 11.8 MPa, respectively
A reinforced plastic sheet is to be made of a matrix with a tensile strength of 60MN/m^2 and a continuous glass fibre with a modulus of 76GN/m^2.If the resin ratio by volume is 70% and the modular ratio of the composite is 25, estimate the tensile strength and modulus of the composite.
