A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite is to be produced consisting of 30 vol.% aramid fibers and 70 vol.% of a polycarbonate matrix. The elastic modulus values of aramid fibers and polycarbonate matrix are 131 GPa and 2.4 GPa, respectively. Assume that the composite has a cross-sectional area of 320 mm2 and is subjected to a longitudinal load of 44.500 N.

  1. What is the elastic modulus of the composite in the longitudinal direction?
  2. What is the fiber/matrix load ratio?
  3. What is the load carried by matrix phase?
  4. What is the magnitude of the stress on fiber phase?
