Compute the longitudinal tensile strength of an aligned glass fiber–epoxy matrix composite...

Compute the longitudinal tensile strength of an aligned glass fiber–epoxy matrix composite in which the average fiber diameter and length are 0.010 mm (4 × 10 4 in.) and 2.5 mm (0.10 in.), respectively, and the volume fraction of fibers is 0.40. Assume that (1) the fiber–matrix bond strength is 75 MPa (10,900 psi), (2) the fracture strength of the fibers is 3500 MPa (508,000 psi), and (3) the matrix stress at fiber failure is 8.0 MPa (1160 psi).
