Plot longitudinal tensile strength of an E-glass/epoxy unidirectionally reinforced composite as a function of volume fraction of fiber and assuming tensile strength follows a volume rule of additivity.

E-glass: modulus = 72.4 GPa, tensile break strength = 2.4 GPa, break strain = 2.6%

epoxy: modulus = 3.5 GPa, tensile break strength = 45 MPa, break strain = 1.28%
