Continuous fibre reinforced polymer

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding how the Young's modulus of continuous fibre reinforced polymers is influenced by fibre orientation and content. It emphasizes the importance of fiber alignment, noting that modulus varies significantly when fibers are oriented parallel versus perpendicular to the load axis. A referenced source provides foundational information on these limiting cases, which can aid in visualizing the concepts. Participants are encouraged to explore diagrams that illustrate these relationships for better comprehension. This information is crucial for anyone studying the mechanical properties of composite materials.

Homework Statement



For a continuous fibre reinforced polymer, use a diagram to explain how the Young's modulus of the composite varies with fibre orientation and fibre content.



Anywhere i could get any of this information? I've been googling with no success for a while
 
Physics news on Phys.org
"www.matter.org.uk/matscicdrom/manual/co.html"[/URL] describes the limiting cases of fiber orientation perpendicular and parallel to load axis. This should be enough to get you started.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
