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.

A composite of polycrystalline spinel (Young's modulus = 277 GPa) and aligned continuous Kevlar fibers is desired in order to increase the capacity of the spinel to withstand impact. Kevlar fibers have a tensile strength of 3.6 GPa and a Young's modulus of 125 GPa. For a desired composite with Young's modulus of 200 GPa, what is the fiber volume fraction? Use isostrain condition.
