Q1: A fiberglass composite is composed of a matrix of vinyl ester and reinforcing fibers of E-glass. The volume fraction of E-glass is 31%. The remainder is vinyl ester. The density of the vinyl ester is 0.651 g/cm3, and its modulus of elasticity is 4.89 GPa. The density of E-glass is 2.685 g/cm3, and its modulus of elasticity is 71 GPa. A section of composite 1.00 cm by 25.00 cm by 200.00 cm is fabricated with the E-glass fibers running...
Problem 8 10 pts) A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite part has cross sectional area of 300 mm2 and consists of35 vol% glass fibers and 65 vol% of a nylon 6,6 matrix. If a longitudinal tensile load of 50kN is applied to the composite, determine (a) the longitudinal modulus of elasticity of the composite, (b) the longitudinal strain in the composite, (c) the stress in each phase (fiber and matrix), and (d) the magnitude of the load carried by each...
