2. Which of the following is not a laminar composite?

a) Bimetallic

b) Cladding

c) Paints

d) Wood

Answer: d

Explanation: Wood is not a laminar composite. Bimetallic, cladding and paints are considered as laminar composites.


3. The composite constituents of both matrix and reinforcements are softer.

a) True

b) False

Answer: b

Explanation: Matrix constituents are generally softer whereas reinforced constituents provide hardness to the composites.


4. In sandwich composites, which of the following material can be used for filling purpose?

a) Wood

b) Cement

c) Polymer

d) All of the mentioned

View Answer


Answer: d

Explanation: Wood, cement, and polymer can be used to fill the gap in sandwich composites.


5. Which of the following have a greater impact on longitudinal strength of reinforced composites?

a) Fiber orientation

b) Fiber strength

c) Fiber length

d) Fiber diameter

Answer: b

Explanation: Longitudinal strength of reinforced composites is directly proportional to its fiber strength.


6. Which of the following may alter the mechanical properties of reinforced composites?

a) Constituent properties

b) Fiber length

c) Fiber orientation

d) All of the mentioned

Answer: d

Explanation: Constituent properties, fiber length etc affect the overall property of reinforced composites.


7. Which of the following property can be enhanced by reinforcing an aluminum alloy?

a) Density

b) Torsion resistance

c) Wear resistance

d) Strength

Answer: c

Explanation: It is observed that for an aluminium alloy matrix composites when reinforced with ceramic particles, there is an increase in the wear resistance.


8. Which of the following is the correct size range of dispersoids (in micrometres) in dispersion strengthened composites?

a) 0.0001-0.0009

b) 0.01-0.1

c) 0.1-1.0

d) 2.0-2.7

Answer: b

Explanation: Dispersoids size varies from 0.01 micrometre to 0.1 micrometre. They are very small.


9. Which of the following is correct dimensional of flake composites?

a) 1-Dimensional

b) 2-Dimensional

c) 3-Dimensional

d) 4-Dimensional

Answer: b

Explanation: Flake composites are two dimensional in nature and can be easily represented on a plane of the paper.


10. Fire point of composite is high.

a) True

b) False

Answer: b

Explanation: Composites have low fire and flash point, and this is one of the main drawbacks.
