An epoxy is randomly reinforced with E-Glass fibers with 0.0012 in. diameter, 0.5 in. length, 0.5 * 106 psi ultimate tensile strength, and 7.2 ksi shear strength. Does this fiber length fully strengthen the composite? What is the minimum fiber length that would make the composite continuously reinforced?
A fiber-reinforced polymer composite under isostrain condition consists of 35% fibers and 45% polymer by volume. The moduli of elasticity of the fibers and the polymer are 260 GPa and 3.4 GPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios of the fibers and the polymer are 0.25 and 0.41, respectively. Calculate the following:a. modulus of elasticity of the composite.b. percentage of load carried by the fibersc. Poisson’s ratio of the composite
