A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite having a cross-sectional area of 1130 mm2is subjected to an external tensile
load. If the stresses sustained by the fiber and matrix phases are 156 MPa and 2.75 MPa, respectively, the force sustained by the fiber phase is 74,000 Nand the total longitudinal strain is1.25x 10-3, determine (a)the force sustained by the matrix phase, (b)the modulus of elasticity of the composite material in the longitudinal direction, and (c)the moduli of elasticity for the fiber and matrix phases.
The solid rod BC has a diameter of 30 mm and is made of an aluminum for which the allowable shearing stress is 25 MPa. Rod AB is hollow and has an outer diameter of 25 mm; it is made of a brass for which the allowable shearing stress is 50 MPa.
