QUESTION:

The specimen represents a filament-reinforced matrix system made from plastic (matrix) and glass (fiber). If there are n fibers, each having a cross-sectional area of \(A_{f}\) and modulus of \(E_{f}\), embedded in a matrix having a cross-sectional area of A and modulus of E\(m\), determine the stress in the matrix and in each fiber when the force P is applied on the specimen.
