I. INTRODUCTION
The study of composite materials today and in the last 20
years has caused a great curiosity in all researchers in the field
of materials; since they have discovered great features in this
vast area of materials. One of the most important reasons why
many have taken the time to develop the necessary technology
and obtain a composite material are properties that can have;
There is a big difference in the magnitudes of load and resistance
material of this type can support, so being able to bring these
properties to real applications of transport, construction and
among many other things, it could be a great support for the
technology in the future.
II. CONTEXT
A. Fiber length
This document involves the issue of the length of a fiber in a
composite, as this is directly related to the properties added to
the matrix; besides this as the critical length could be a very
important factor in the behavior of our composite. The different
lengths can have a fiber and what are the capabilities that each
can provide are compared.

III. DISCUSSION
It is necessary to know how the relationship between the
critical length and the length of a fiber to develop behavior that
occurs every situation occurs, and the comparison that will later
be exposed.
The mechanical characteristics of a fiber-reinforced
composite depend not only on the properties of the fiber, but also
on the degree to which an applied load is transmitted to the fibers
by the matrix phase. Important to the extent of this load
transmittance is the magnitude of the interfacial bond between
the fiber and matrix phases.
Some critical fiber length is necessary for effective
strengthening and stiffening of the composite material. This
critical length lc is dependent on the fiber diameter d and its
ultimate (or tensile) strength f and on the fibermatrix bond
strength c:
