Q1: A fiberglass composite is composed of a matrix of vinyl ester and reinforcing fibers of E-glass. The volume fraction of E-glass is 31%. The remainder is vinyl ester. The density of the vinyl ester is 0.651 g/cm3, and its modulus of elasticity is 4.89 GPa. The density of E-glass is 2.685 g/cm3, and its modulus of elasticity is 71 GPa. A section of composite 1.00 cm by 25.00 cm by 200.00 cm is fabricated with the E-glass fibers running...
Q3: According to your textbook, what is the coefficient of viscosity for water at 100°C? Give your answer in terms of Pa·s. Q4: A tensile test uses a test specimen that has a gage length of 50 mm and an area = 211 mm2. During the test, the specimen yields under a load of 95,191 N. The corresponding gage length = 50.24 mm - this is at the 0.2 percent yield point. The maximum load of 160,342 N is reached...
Problem 8 10 pts) A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite part has cross sectional area of 300 mm2 and consists of35 vol% glass fibers and 65 vol% of a nylon 6,6 matrix. If a longitudinal tensile load of 50kN is applied to the composite, determine (a) the longitudinal modulus of elasticity of the composite, (b) the longitudinal strain in the composite, (c) the stress in each phase (fiber and matrix), and (d) the magnitude of the load carried by each...
