Elastic constants of fibrous polymer composite materials reinforced with transversely isotropic fibers

In this paper, a model to find the approximate equations for determining the elastic constants of unidirectional fiber – reinforced composite materials in terms of the constituent material properties is described. The novelty of this work is that the fibers are considered to be transversely isotropi...
