A composite structure used for electrical cable ducting on an aircraft carrier is made by the pultrusion technique. The pultrusion consists of 60% S2-glass fibres by volume (V₁ = 0.6). 60% of the fibres are in unidirectional (0°) form and the other 40% consists of a woven fabric. The matrix is a phenolic resin modified with polyvinylbutyral (PVB). The properties of the constituent materials are: Tensile modulus of fibres, Ef = 86GPa Tensile strength of fibres, Of = 4700MPa Tensile modulus of matrix, Em = 4GPa Tensile strength of matrix, Om = 70MPa Calculate the tensile modulus and strength of the pultrusion in the 0° and 90° directions using the simple 'rule of mixtures' approach.
