Fiber-reinforced
Composite Materials
· A
uniaxial fiber-reinforced lamina is the basic component of a continuous-fiber
reinforced composite material. The fibers are parallel and extend from
one end of the lamina to the other as shown.
· Fiber packing determines the maximum fiber volume fraction.
· Two fiber configurations are
illustrated: hexagonal close packed cylinders, and a simple square array.
The fiber radius, r, inter-fiber spacing, 2R, and the fiber to fiber distance,
s, characterize the system.
