Hope this helps❤
The answer is because the positive goes with the positive
Answer:
a) 254.6 GPa
b) 140.86 GPa
Explanation:
a) Considering the expression of rule of mixtures for upper-bound and calculating the modulus of elasticity for upper bound;
Ec(u) = EmVm + EpVp
To calculate the volume fraction of matrix, 0.63 is substituted for Vp in the equation below,
Vm + Vp = 1
Vm = 1 - 0.63
Vm = 0.37
In the first equation,
Where
Em = 68 GPa, Ep = 380 GPa, Vm = 0.37 and Vp = 0.63,
The modulus of elasticity upper-bound is,
Ec(u) = EmVm + EpVp
Ec(u) = (68 x 0.37) + (380 x 0.63)
Ec(u) = 254.6 GPa.
b) Considering the express of rule of mixtures for lower bound;
Ec(l) = (EmEp)/(VmEp + VpEm)
Substituting values into the equation,
Ec(l) = (68 x 380)/(0.37 x 380) + (0.63 x 68)
Ec(l) = 25840/183.44
Ec(l) = 140.86 GPa
