Problem 3: Composite moduli Composites are materials that are composed of two or more distinct composed...
Orthotropic Material 3. (20 pts) Suppose we have a thin composite material comprised of unidirectional graphite fibers in an epoxy matrix. The ply is loaded in uniaxial tension in the x direction. Plane stress conditions can be assumed. The ply is oriented at an angle 0 from the x axis as shown. Material properties for this material (which may be assumed to be orthotropic) are given in the following figure. T300/934 ET= 9.65 GPa a) (8 pts) Given θ-200, find...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
