It is necessary to fabricate an aligned and discontinuous carbon

It is necessary to fabricate an aligned and discontinuous carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 1900MPa (275,000 psi) using 0.45 volume fraction of fibers. Compute the required fiber fracture strength assuming that the average fiber diameter and length are 8 ( 10-3 mm (3.1 ( 10-4 in.) and 3.5 mm (0.14 in.), respectively. The fiber-matrix bond strength is 40MPa (5800 psi), and the matrix stress at fiber failure is 12MPa (1740 psi).
