Using the maximum strain criterion and the appropriate micromechanics equations, set up the equation for predicting the averaged isotropic strength of a randomly oriented short-fiber-reinforced composite. You may assume that the matrix failure strain is greater than the fiber failure strain. Your answer should be given in terms of the appropriate fiber and matrix properties and volume fractions and trigonometric functions of the fiber orientation angle θ. It is not necessary to solve the equation.
