3 10.1 Mechanical Properties
Density mc = mf + mm (1) Where mc : mass of composite, mf : mass of fiber, mm : mass of matrix vc = vf + vm + vv (2) Where vv : volume of voids Mf + Mm = (3) vf + vm + vv = (4) Composite density, ρc(= m/v) is given by ρc = mc/ vc = mf + mm / vc = ρfvf + ρmvm / vc and

4 10.1 Mechanical Properties
or ρc = ρfvf + ρmvm (5) We can also derive an expression for ρc in terms of mass fraction. Thus, ρc = mc / vc = mc / vf+vm+Vv = mc / (mf / ρf + mm / ρm + Vv) = 1 / ( Mf / ρf + Mm / ρm + Vv / mc ) = 1 / ( Mf / ρf + Mm / ρm + vv / ρcvc ) = 1 / ( Mf / ρf + Mm / ρm + Vv / ρc ) (6) Rewriting eq.(6), we obtain ρc = ρc / ρc [ Mf / ρf + Mm / ρm ] + Vv Vv = 1 – ρc ( Mf / ρf + Mm / ρm ) -----(7) or

6 10.1 Mechanical Properties
Isostrain or action in parallel situation If two components adhere perfectly and if they have the same poisson ratio two components will under go the same longitudinal at elongation, ∆l. εf = εm + εcl = ∆l / l (8) Where εcl is the strain in the composite in longitudinal direction by Voigt[1910] σf = Efεf , σm = Emεm

7 10.1 Mechanical Properties
Let Ac, Am, Af be the cross-sectional area of the composite, matrix, and all the fiber respectively. From the equilibrium of for in fiber direction, Pc = Pf + Pm or σclAc = σfAf + σmAm ---(9) From eqs. (8) and (9), σclAc = (EfAf + EmAm) εcl or Ecl = σcl / εcl = Ef ( Af / Ac) + Em ( Am / Ac) for a given composites length, Af / Ac = Vf, Am / Ac =Vm, then the above expression can be simplifield to Ecl = EfVf + Em Vm = E (10) : rule of mixture for E Similar expression can be obtained for composite longitudinal strength from eq(9), namely σcl = σf Vf + σm Vm –-(11) : rule of mixture for strenth

8 10.1 Mechanical Properties
Isostress or Action in series Equal stress in twocomponents [by Reuss, (1929)] for loading transverse to the fiber direction, We have For total displacements of the composite, tc is the sum of displacements of the fibers and matrix.

10 10.1 Mechanical Properties
Volume fraction of fiber and matrix can be written and This simplifies eq(12) to (13) In elastic regime, , Eq(13) becomes or (14)

16 10.1 Mechanical Properties
Fig 10.6 Three dimensional stress distribution in the unit composite. Transverse stress (σr and σθ) result from the differences in the Poisson ratios of the fiber and matrix. Krishan K. Chawla, Composite materials science and engineering, Springer-Verlag, (1998)

17 10.1 Mechanical Properties
Stress Distribution in a fiber composite in the above Fig 10.6 Fallowing Inferences are drawn at below 1. Axial stress is uniform in component 1 and 2,stress magnitude depends on the respective elastic constants. 2. In central component 1, σr1 and σθ1 are equal in magnitude and sense. In the sleeve 2, σθ2 vary as 1-b2/r2 and 1+b2/r2, respectively. 3. When the Poisson ratio difference ( V2 – V1 ) goes to zero, σr and σθ go to zero ; the rheological interaction will vanish. 4. Small difference in Poisson ratio of components of metallic composite. →Transverse stress developing in elastic regime will be small.
