Volume Fraction of Fiber - Volume Fraction of Fiber also known as fiber volume fraction or simply fiber fraction, is a measure of the volume occupied by fibers within a composite material.
Elastic Modulus Composite (Longitudinal Direction) - (Measured in Pascal) - Elastic Modulus Composite (Longitudinal Direction) refers to a material property when subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the longitudinal direction.
Elastic Modulus of Matrix - (Measured in Pascal) - Elastic Modulus of Matrix typically refers to the elastic modulus or young's modulus of the material composing the matrix phase in a composite material.
Volume Fraction of Matrix - Volume Fraction of Matrix is the Volume fraction of the matrix used in composite.
Elastic Modulus of Fiber - (Measured in Pascal) - Elastic Modulus of Fiber, also known as young's modulus, refers to the stiffness of the material, it represents the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic limit of the material.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Elastic Modulus Composite (Longitudinal Direction): 200 Megapascal --> 200000000 Pascal (Check conversion ​here)
Elastic Modulus of Matrix: 200.025 Megapascal --> 200025000 Pascal (Check conversion ​here)
Volume Fraction of Matrix: 0.4 --> No Conversion Required
Elastic Modulus of Fiber: 200 Megapascal --> 200000000 Pascal (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vf = (Ecl-Em*Vm)/Ef --> (200000000-200025000*0.4)/200000000
Evaluating ... ...

What are polymer matrix composites (PMC)?

Polymer matrix composites have organic polymer matrix with strengthening fibers in the matrix. Matrix holds and protects the fibers in place while transmitting the load to them. Advanced composites are a class of Polymer matrix composites that have high mechanical properties (strength and stiffness) compared to the normal reinforced plastics and are used in aerospace applications. Reinforced plastics are relatively inexpensive and are widely used.
