Question

A composite material comprising two different and distinct materials, A and B, are arranged in the picture to the right. Assume the thick horizontal lines represent rigid bars with good bonding with any material that it is in contact with, while the thinner vertical lines represent no bonding between materials. A force is applied to the top-most and bottom-most rigid bars, in the direction shown (i.e. up and down). What combination of iso-stress and/or iso-strain conditions would you expect the composite material to exhibit, and explain WHY?

Explanation / Answer

The combination of iso stress and iso strain are depended on the modulus of elasticity and volume fraction of the particulate composites. Here iso strain is acted vertical to iso stress. Here the normal component is a tensile force, and the intensity of loading per unit area is the direct stress. The distortion of the material due to the direct and shear forces is measured by the direct strain and shear strain. The forces within the materials create opposite and equal resistive forces to maintain static equilibrium.
