The case is considered of an aligned composite subjected to tensile creep in the direction of the fibres. A geometrical argument shows that shear strain in the composite is amplifiedl/2stimes compared with unsupported matrix, wherel/2s∼ aspect ratio of the inter-fibre spaces. The shear stress is amplified (l/2s)1/ntimes, wherenis the exponent in the matrix creep law. Consequently the rate of energy expenditure is amplifiedVm(1/2s)1+1/ntimes, as is therefore the tensile flow resistance of the composite (Vmis the volume fraction of matrix). The potential increase in flow resistance is thus enormous. However, the fibre end-stress, which is calculated, ∝ fibre diameter, and may be large enough to initiate rupture unless the fibres are very thin (e.g. 1μm diameter). The tensile load is roughly equally divided between matrix and fibres irrespective of volume fractions.
