The mechanical properties of a metal may be improved by incorporating fine particles of its oxide. Given that the moduli of elasticity of the metal and oxide are, respectively, 67 GPa and 390 GPa, what is the (a) upper-bound, and (b) lower-bound modulus of elasticity values (in GPa) for a composite that has a composition of 44 vol% of oxide particles.

A) 209.12 GPa

B) 105.41 GPa

Explanation:

We are given;

Modulus of elasticity of the metal; E_m = 67 GPa

Modulus of elasticity of the oxide; E_f = 390 GPa

Composition of oxide particles; V_f = 44% = 0.44

A) Formula for upper bound modulus of elasticity is given as;

E = E_m(1 - V_f) + (E_f × V_f)

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

E = (67(1 - 0.44)) + (390 × 0.44)

E = 209.12 GPa

B) Formula for upper bound modulus of elasticity is given as;

E = 1/[(V_f/E_f) + (1 - V_f)/E_m]

Plugging in the relevant values;

E = 1/((0.44/390) + ((1 - 0.44)/67))

E = 105.41 GPa
