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 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
