The image below illustrates the total load on composite. To calculate the total load on composite, two essential parameters are needed: load on Matrix (Fm) and Load on Fibre (Ff).
The formula for calculating total load on composite:
Fc = Fm + Ff
Where:
Fc = Total Load on Composite
Fm = Load on Matrix
And then, Ff = Load on Fibre
Let’s solve an example;
Find the total load on composite when the load on matrix is 20 and the load on fibre is 10.
This implies that;
Fm = Load on Matrix = 20
Ff = Load on Fibre = 10
That is, Fc = Fm + Ff
Fc = (20) + (10)
Fc = 30
Therefore, the total load on composite is 30.
Calculating the Load on Matrix when the Total Load on Composite and the Load on Fibre are Given
Fm = Fc – Ff
Where:
Fm = Load on Matrix
Fc = Total Load on Composite
And then, Ff = Load on Fibre
Let’s solve an example;
Find the load on matrix when the total load on composite is 34 and the load on fibre is 12.
This implies that;

Fc = Total Load on Composite = 34
Ff = Load on Fibre = 12
That is, Fm = Fc – Ff
Fm = 34 – 12
Fm = 22
Therefore, the load on matrix is 22

Calculating the Load on Fibre when the Total Load on Composite and the Load on Matrix are Given
Ff = Fc – Fm
Where:
Ff = Load on Fibre
Fc = Total Load on Composite
And then, Fm = Load on Matrix
Let’s solve an example;
Given that total load on composite is 40 and the load on matrix is 25. Find the load on fibre?
This implies that;
Fc = Total Load on Composite = 40
Fm = Load on Matrix = 25
That is, Ff = Fc – Fm
Ff = 40 – 25
Ff = 15
Therefore, the load on fibre is 15.
