Longitudinal Strength of Composite Formula

​LaTeX ​Go
Longitudinal Strength of Composite = Stress in Matrix*(1-Volume Fraction of Fiber)+Tensile Strength of Fiber*Volume Fraction of Fiber
σcl = τm*(1-Vf)+σf*Vf

Assumptions used

If it is assumed that strain on fiber is more than strain on matrix, then fibers
will fail before the matrix. Once the fibers have fractured, the majority of the load that was borne by the fibers is now transferred to the matrix.
