The matrix in a composite laminate is responsible for

  • A.Determining the fibre volume fraction
  • B.Transferring load between the fibres
  • C.Carrying most of the axial load
  • D.Providing the stiffness along the fibre direction

Answer: B

The matrix is much the weaker constituent, but without it the fibres could not share load or resist compression. Matrix-dominated properties, such as transverse and shear strength, are consequently far lower than the fibre-dominated ones.
