Consider a single lamina of unidirectional kevlar-epoxy with a fiber orientation angle of 55 degress . You may use a computer or do the calculations by hand but must show your work. Use the lamina properties provided in Lesson 3, Slide 19 in SI units. The lamina is loaded with stresses {x, y, xy} = {125, -10, 20} MPa. a. Sketch a complete and useful figure for this problem, including all relevant coordinate systems. b. Calculate the strains in the x-y coordinate system caused by the applied stresses.

Consider a unidirectional Kevlar/Epoxy lamina. The stiffness in the fiber direction must be at least 70 GPa, and the stiffness perpendicular to the fibers must be at least 10 GPa. The modulus of the Kevlar fibers is 124 GPa, and Poisson ratio is 0.35. The modulus of the Epoxy is 3.5 GPa and Poisson ratio is 0.33. You may use the 4 design equations from Lesson 6, Slide 17. a) Write 2 simple equations that define the 2 requirements you...
