Calculate composite tensile strength using constituent strengths and volume fractions.The formula is given by:

Where:

• σc​ is the tensile strength of the composite material.
• σm​ is the tensile strength of the matrix material.
• σf​ is the tensile strength of the reinforcement (fiber or filler) material.
• Vm​ is the volume fraction of the matrix material.
• Vf​ is the volume fraction of the reinforcement material.
