Chapter 16: Problem 14
\(16.14\) A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite having a cross- sectional area of \(1130 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\left(1.75 \mathrm{in} .^{2}\right)\) is subjected to an \(\mathrm{ex}\) ternal tensile load. If the stresses sustained by the fiber and matrix phases are \(156 \mathrm{MPa}\) \((22,600 \mathrm{psi})\) and \(2.75 \mathrm{MPa}(400 \mathrm{psi})\), respectively; the force sustained by the fiber phase is \(74,000 \mathrm{~N}\left(16,600 \mathrm{lb}_{6}\right)\); and the total longitudinal strain is \(1.25 \times 10^{-3}\), 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 fiber and matrix phases.
