A 50-mm cube of the graphite fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite material is subjected to 125-kN uniformly distributed compressive force in the direction 2, which is perpendicular to the fiber direction (direction 1). The cube is constrained against expansion in direction 3. Determine: a. changes in the 50-mm dimensions.
b. stresses required to provide constraints.

hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part

answer :

A) Determine changes in the 50-mm dimensions

The changes are : 0.006mm compression  in y-direction

                               0.002 mm expansion in x and z directions

B) the stress required are evenly distributed

Explanation:

Given data :

50-mm cube of graphite fiber reinforced polymer matrix

subjected to 125-KN force in direction 2,

direction 2 is perpendicular to fiber direction ( direction 1 ) and cube is constrained against expansion in direction 3

A) Determine changes in the 50-mm dimensions

The changes are : 0.006mm compression  in y-direction

                               0.002 mm expansion in x and z directions

B) the stress required are evenly distributed
