For transverse ... of Young's modulus can be controlled through the fiber volume fraction The lower diagram shows how the longitudinal and transverse values of the Composite Young's modulus depends on ...

Damage mechanics of composite materials is concerned with the various damage mechanisms, their evolution under thermomechanical loading, and their effect on the elastic ... a concurrent decrease in ...

shows a 'uniaxial fiber-reinforced' composite material, and (b) shows how the stress on the composite is carried by the fibers and the matrix. In normal situations, the fiber has a larger Young's ...
