Comparing that laminate at \( 139 \) GPa and \( 1.56 \) g/cm\( ^3 \) with aluminium at \( 70 \) GPa and \( 2.70 \), the specific stiffness ratio is nearest to

  • A.3.4 to 1
  • B.2.0 to 1
  • C.1.7 to 1
  • D.5.4 to 1

Answer: A

Specific stiffness is \( 139/1.56 = 89.1 \) against \( 70/2.70 = 25.9 \), a ratio of about 3.4. That figure, along the fibre direction, is the headline argument for composites, though a real laminate with off-axis plies does far less well.
