12.38. Calculate the density of the Kevlar fiber-reinforced epoxy composite in Table 12.7. The density of Kevlar is 1.44 Mg/m3 and of epoxy is 1.1 Mg/m?. 12.39. In a contemporary commercial aircraft, a total of 0.25 m3 of its exterior surface is constructed of a Kevlar/epoxy composite, rather than of a conven- tional aluminum alloy. Calculate the mass savings using the density calculated in Problem 12.38 and approximating the alloy density by that of pure aluminum.
