A composite containing carbon fibres in epoxy resin is loaded in a direction perpendicular to the reinforcing fibres. If there is 55 vol% fibres, modulus of the carbon fibres is 340 GPa and modulus of epoxy is 3.2 GPa, determine the modulus of the composite. Use this equation to calculate the modulus of the composite:
