For
loading in the 2-direction, an isostress situation applies when the matrix
and the fiber have perfect interfacial bonding. For this case:
σC = σf = σm . · The total elastic strain in the composite is the volume fraction weighted sum of the matrix and fiber strains: εC2 = Vf εf + Vmεm = (Vf σf / Ef ) + (Vm σm/ Em ) so that: EC2
= (Ef Em)
/ (Ef {1 - Vf
} + Em Vf
)
