Answer all questions below and test your knowledge.

1
A composite with a ductile metallic matrix reinforced by continuous ceramic fibers achieves high damage tolerance. This property is primarily due to which micromechanical mechanism during matrix plastic deformation?
Question 1
2
In the design of a hybrid laminate with alternating plies of carbon fiber/epoxy and glass fiber/epoxy, a primary mechanical rationale for placing the glass fiber plies on the outer surfaces is to:
Question 2
3
For a unidirectional composite under longitudinal tensile loading, the 'ineffective length' (or 'critical length') adjacent to a fiber break is a key parameter for predicting tensile strength. This length is primarily determined by:
Question 3
4
When modeling the transverse tensile modulus of a unidirectional composite using the Mori-Tanaka method, the predicted value is highly sensitive to a specific microstructural feature often idealized as perfect in simpler models. This feature is:
Question 4
5
In the autoclave processing of a thick-section carbon fiber/epoxy laminate, a significant risk is the formation of 'porosity' or 'voids.' Which combination of processing parameters is most critical to control for minimizing this defect?
Question 5
6
The 'hygrothermal aging' of a polymer matrix composite refers to the combined effect of moisture absorption and temperature. A primary consequence of this aging on matrix-dominated properties, such as transverse tensile strength, is:
Question 6
7
A major challenge in using carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymers for structural applications, despite their exceptional nano-scale properties, is the difficulty in achieving significant improvement in macro-scale composite properties. The dominant limiting factor is typically:
Question 7
8
The 'first-ply failure' (FPF) criterion in laminate analysis is often based on a failure theory applied to individual plies. In a quasi-isotropic laminate under uniaxial tension, which ply orientation is typically predicted to fail first according to the Maximum Stress or Tsai-Wu criterion?
Question 8
9
In the context of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) designed for ultra-high temperature service, a critical function of the fiber-matrix interphase (e.g., pyrocarbon or BN) is to:
Question 9
10
The 'Thermoelastic Constant' for a composite laminate, used in stress analysis via Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) techniques, is inversely proportional to a specific material property. This property is:
