Question

For a fiber composite with a fiber-matrix bond shear strength of 37.4 MPa and a critical fiber length-fiber diameter ratio of 50, what is the tensile strength of the fibers?

Answer 1

An expression for critical fiber length is given as-

where,

- Critical fiber length

- ultimate tensile strength

- Fiber diameter

- fiber-matrix bond strength.(37.4 MPa)

So,

put all values,
