    1. The document discusses finding strains and stresses in composite materials with different fiber orientations using properties from a stiffness matrix and tables. 2. It also involves determining the angles that maximize and minimize shear modulus for a bidirectional woven composite ply with equal longitudinal and transverse modulus. 3. Additionally, it discusses deriving an expression for reduced stiffness elements and calculating elastic properties like modulus from measured values for different fiber orientations.

    3-A bidirectional woven composite ply may yield equal longitudinal and transverse Youngs modulus but is still orthotropic. Determine the angles of the ply for which the shear modulus (Gxy) are maximum and minimum. Also find these maximum and minimum values. Given: E1 = 69 GPa, E2 = 69 GPa, 12 = 0.3, G12 = 20 GPa. 4-Starting from the expression for the reduced stiffness element

    5- The tensile modulus of a 0, 90, and 45 graphite/epoxy ply is measured as follows to give E1 = 26.25 Msi, E2 = 1.494 Msi, Ex = 2.427 Msi for the 45 ply, respectively. 1. What is the value Ex for a 30 ply? 2. Can you calculate the values of 12 and G12 from the previous three measured values of elastic moduli?
