Explanation:

Rule of Mixtures: 

  • The properties of composite material are a function of the starting materials. Certain properties of composite material can be computed by means of a rule of mixtures, which involves calculating a weighted average of the constituent material properties. 

The mass of composite material is the sum of the masses of the matrix and reinforcing phases

Mc = Mr + Mm

Volume of composite

Vc = Vm + Vm + Vv

Density of Composite

\(ρ _c = \frac {M_c}{V_c}= \frac {M_m \ +\ M_r}{V_c}\)     

Mm = ρm Vm & Mr = ρr Vr 

\(ρ _c = \frac {\rho _m V_m \ +\ \rho_r V_r}{V_c}\)

Melting point cannot be evaluated by using the rule of mixture.
