An Upper Bound of Longitudinal Elastic Modulus for Unidirectional Fibrous Composites as Obtained from Strength of Materials Approach

In this paper, the authors introduce an upper bound of the longitudinal elastic modulus of unidirectional fibrous composites to strength of materials approach, provided that the fibre is much stiffer than the matrix. In the mathematical derivations resulting in this bound, the concept of boundary in...
