Homework Statement
A piece of aluminum as shown in the picture is applying a compressive force on the fiberglass material. I need to know if the loading material will exceed the specification of the fiberglass material.
Homework Equations
Properties of fiberglass
Tensile strength Monolayer (Warp): 380 MPa
Tensile strength Monolayer (Weft): 300 MPa
Fiber Volume: 50%
Properties of resin
Tensile strength: 30 MPa
Volume: 50%
The Attempt at a Solution
My question is, since the loading structure is pressing against the fiberglass, the load will cause the fiberglass to be stretched inwards thus resulting in tension. Is this deduction reasonable?
