The kevlar fibers have a modulus of elasticity of 60 gpa in


A composite has a matrix of polyester with Kevlar-29 fibers. The volume fractions of polyester and Kevlar are 60% and 40%, respectively. The Kevlar fibers have a modulus of elasticity of 60 GPa in the longitudinal direction and 3 GPa in the transverse direction. The polyester matrix has a modulus of elasticity of 5.6 GPa in both directions.

(a) Determine the modulus of elasticity for the composite in the longitudinal direction.

(b) Determine the modulus of elasticity in the transverse direction.
