Equations (1) & (2) predict the stiffness of a unidirectional glass fibre reinforced advanced composite material. Use one of these equations (you decide which) to determine the transverse stiffness of the composite, in GPa correct to 1 decimal place. Assume the fibre volume fraction is 0.5, the glass fibre stiffness is 75GPa and the epoxy matrix stiffness is 3.1GPa. Ěu = fE; + (1 - f)Em Eq (1) ĒL = Emer fEm+(1-) Eq (2) Answer:
