Analysis of a Lamina
Chapter Objectives
• Develop concepts of volume and weight fraction (mass
fraction) of fiber and matrix, density, and void fraction in
composites.
• Find the nine mechanical and four hygrothermal
constants: four elastic moduli, five strength parameters,
two coefficients of thermal expansion, and two
coefficients of moisture expansion of a unidirectional
lamina from the individual properties of the fiber and the
matrix, fiber volume fraction, and fiber packing.
• Discuss the experimental characterization of the nine
mechanical and four hygrothermal constants.
• In Chapter 2, the stress–strain relationships, engineering constants,
and failure theories for an angle lamina were developed using four
elastic moduli, five strength parameters, two coefficients of thermal
expansion (CTE), and two coefficients of moisture expansion (CME)
for a unidirectional lamina.
• These 13 parameters can be found experimentally by conducting
several tension, compression, shear, and hygrothermal tests on
unidirectional lamina (laminates).
• However, unlike in isotropic materials, experimental evaluation of
these parameters is quite costly and time consuming because they
are functions of several variables: the individual constituents of the
composite material, fiber volume fraction, packing geometry,
processing, etc.
• Thus, they need and motivation for developing analytical models to
find these parameters are very important.

• In this chapter, we will develop simple
relationships for the these parameters in terms of
the stiffnesses, strengths, coefficients of thermal
and moisture expansion of the individual
constituents of a composite, fiber volume
fraction, packing geometry, etc.
• An understanding of this relationship, called
micromechanics of lamina, helps the designer to
select the constituents of a composite material
for use in a laminated structure.

3.2 Volume and Mass Fractions,
Density, and Void Content
• Before modeling the 13 parameters of a unidirectional composite,
we introduce the concept of relative fraction of fibers by volume.
• This concept is critical because theoretical formulas for finding the
stiffness, strength, and hygrothermal properties of a unidirectional
lamina are a function of fiber volume fraction.
• Measurements of the constituents are generally based on their
mass, so fiber mass fractions must also be defined.
• Moreover, defining the density of a composite also becomes
necessary because its value is used in the experimental
determination of fiber volume and void fractions of a composite.
• Also, the value of density is used in the definition of specific
modulus and specific strength in Chapter 1.

3.2.1 Volume Fractions
Consider a composite consisting of fiber and matrix. Take the
following symbol notations:
vc,f,m volume of composite, fiber, and matrix, respectively
c,f,m density of composite, fiber, and matrix, respectively.
Now define the fiber volume fraction V f and the matrix volume
fraction Vm as
vf
V f = , and (3.1a, b)
vc
V f +V m = 1
vf + vm = vc

3.3.2.4 In-Plane Shear Modulus
The value of ξ = 1 for circular fibers in a square array gives
reasonable results only for fiber volume fractions of up to 0.5.
For example, for a typical glass/epoxy lamina with a fiber volume
fraction of 0.75, the value of inplane shear modulus using the
Halphin–Tsai equation with ξ = 1 is 30% lower than that given by
elasticity solutions.
Hewitt and Malherbe suggested choosing a function,

In this section, we will see whether and how these parameters can
be found from the individual properties of the fiber and matrix by
using the mechanics of materials approach.

3.4.1 Longitudinal Tensile Strength
A simple mechanics of materials approach model is presented (Figure
3.24).
Assume that
• Fiber and matrix are isotropic, homogeneous, and linearly
elastic until failure.
• The failure strain for the matrix is higher than for the fiber,
which is the case for polymeric matrix composites. For
example, glass fibers fail at strains of 3 to 5%, but an epoxy
fails at strains of 9 to 10%.
Now, if
(σf)ult = ultimate tensile strength of fiber
Ef = Young’s modulus of fiber
(σm)ult = ultimate tensile strength of matrix
Em = Young’s modulus of matrix
Longitudinal Tensile Strength

then the ultimate failure strain of the fiber is
( f ) ult (3.162)
( f ) ult = ,
Ef
and the ultimate failure strain of the matrix is
( m )ult
( m )ult = (3.163)
Because the fibers carryE m most of the load in polymeric matrix
composites, it is assumed that, when the fibers fail at the strain
of (εf)ult, the whole composite fails. Thus, the composite tensile
strength is given by
( m )ult - E m ( f )ult
(V f )minimum < (3.165)
( f )ult - E m ( f )ult + ( m )ult
It is also possible that, by adding fibers to the matrix, the composite
will have lower ultimate tensile strength than the matrix. In that case,
the fiber volume fraction for which this is possible is called the critical
fiber volume fraction, (Vf)critical, and is
( m )ult - E m ( f )ult
(V f )critical < (3.166)
( f )ult - E m ( f )ult
Example
Example 3.13
Thus,
72 106
( ε m )ult =
3.4 109
= 0.2117 10-1
Example
Example 3.13
= 0.6422 10- 2
= 0.6422%
Example
Example 3.13
This implies that, if the fiber volume fraction is less than
0.6422%, the matrix can take more loading after all the fibers
break. Applying Equation (3.166), the critical fiber volume
fraction is
72 106 - ( 3.4 109 )( 0.1823 10-1 )
( V f )critical =
1550 106 - ( 3.4 109 )( 0.1823 10-1 )
= 0.6732 10- 2
= 0.6732%
This implies that, if the fiber volume fraction were less than
0.6732%, the composite longitudinal tensile strength would be
less than that of the matrix.

Modes of failure of unidirectional lamina under a longitudinal tensile load.
The three failure modes are shown in Figure 3.28. The mode of
failure depends on the fiber–matrix bond strength and fiber volume
fraction.
• For low fiber volume fractions, 0 < Vf <0.40, a typical
glass/epoxy composite exhibits a mode (1) type failure.
• For intermediate fiber volume fractions, 0.4 < Vf < 0.65, mode
(2) type failure occurs.
• For high fiber volume fractions, Vf> 0.65, it exhibits mode (3)
type of failure.
Longitudinal Compressive Strength
The model used for calculating the longitudinal tensile strength for a
unidirectional lamina cannot also be used for its longitudinal
compressive strength because the failure modes are different. Three
typical failure modes are shown in Figure 3.29:

The value of the longitudinal modulus, E1, and the major

one can use the empirical formula,
