Question 130
XE-FNAT2 marksNeeds review
A unidirectional composite of a resin is prepared with continuous fibers, where the volume fraction of the fiber in the composite is 0.7. Assume that the resin has a modulus of 9 GPa and the fiber has a modulus of 90 GPa. A sample of this composite, possessing a breadth of 4 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, is subjected to a uniaxial tensile test along the direction of the fiber.
Corresponding to a strain of 0.5 %, the force applied on the sample is ________ N. (Round off to the nearest integer)
