= Stress
= Strain
E = Youngs Modulus
Pc = Pf + Pm
cAc = fAf + mAm
Length of fiber and matrix layers are same, hence we replace are with equivalent
volume fraction:
cVc = fVf + mVm
------ eq. 1
c = fVf + mVm
In isostrain = c = f = m
------ eq. 2
ISO STRESS:
Stress on the total composite is equal to the stress on the matrix and stress on the
fibers:
c = f = m
Total strain on the composite is equal to the sum of strain on fiber and matrix
layers:
c = f + m
---- eq. 1
