rules of mixtures for elastic properties
RULES OF MIXTURES FOR ELASTIC PROPERTIES
The paper is about the rules of mixtures which are used to express the dependencies of the physical properties and mechanical properties which depend on type, form, quality and arrangement of its constituents, but they are based on various assumptions so one should with caution, especially if they are used anything more than preliminary design. The paper mainly concentrates on expressions for elastic properties which are as follows:
Unidirectional Ply- longitudinal modulus: The Figure 1 clearly shows the orthogonal axes and fiber direction, the fiber directions. The first approximation made is E3= E4. And also for deriving the rules of mixtures the following assumptions are made:
Fibers are uniform, parallel and continuous.
Perfect bonding exists between fibers and matrix.
A longitudinal load produces equal strain in fiber and matrix. Using the above assumptions and approximations two rules of mixtures are derived which are E1 = EfVf + EmVm = EfVf + Em (1- Vf) V12= vfVf+vm+Vm
These two rules of mixtures are generally accepted as it goes well with experimental data.
Unidirectional Ply- Transverse modulus: In this the rules of mixtures are less reliable than those for longitudinal properties as they are based on assumptions of stress distribution. In this the poisson’s contraction is ignored and the stress is assumed to be the same.which leads to the result of: E2=EfEm/(VfEm+VmEf).
But the above rules of mixture has poor experimental agreement so an alternative Halpin-Tsai model for transverse modulus has been introduced. E2 = Em (1+Vf)
(1 - Vf)
Unidirectional Ply- Shear Modulus:
Shear modulus is defined as the ration of shear stress to the shear strain. The shear modulus is

    Homogeneous mixtures are those that are uniform in composition, properties, and appearance throughout. Heterogeneous mixtures do not have the same composition, properties and appearance. Mixtures are characterized by two different properties: each of the substances in the mixture retains its chemical identity and mixtures are separable into these components by physical means, from heating, freezing, drying, etc. If one of the substances in a mixture exceeds the amounts of the other substances in the mixture you call it an impure substance and the other substances in the mixture are impurities. The preparation of compounds usually involves their separation or isolation from reactants or other impurities. The separation of the components of mixtures is based upon the fact that each component has different physical properties. The components of mixtures are always pure substances, either compounds or elements and each pure substance will possess a unique set of properties. Similarly, every crystal of a pure substance melts at a specific temperature and a given pressure, and every pure substance boils at a specific temperature and a given pressure. There are four…

    During this experiment students will take a mixture and separate it into its’ pure substances. A mixture is a combination of two or more substance. These substances cannot be combined chemically but more physically. The pure substances are substances that cannot be separated any more by physical means. The students will learn the difference of these two meanings during the experiment.…

    Mixtures are usually content of two or more substances. There are two kind of mixtures, Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. For Homogeneous mixture we cannot see the individual particles of the components, a good example of that will be air, cola drink, and rubbing alcohol. And for heterogeneous mixture we can see the individual particles of the components, a good example of that will be rocks and soil. There are a variety of methods that we can separate the mixtures with. Physical and chemical methods are the most useful way to separate the components. A ternary mixture is containing three substances; it can be separated by both physical and chemical method in many steps.…
