A fiber-reinforced polymer composite under isostrain condition consists of 35%

fibers and 65% polymer by volume. The moduli of elasticity of the fibers and the

polymer are 260 GPa and 3.4 GPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios of the

fibers and the polymer are 0.25 and 0.41, respectively. Calculate the following:

a. modulus of elasticity of the composite.

b. percentage of load carried by the fibers

c. Poisson’s ratio of the composite
