A composite containing carbon fibres in epoxy resin is loaded in a direction parallel to the reinforcing fibres. If there is 40 vol% fibres, modulus of the carbon fibres is 280 GPa and modulus of epoxy is 2.6 GPa, determine the modulus of the composite. Use this equation to calculate the modulus of the composite:
