Elastic constants and state of stress of glass-reinforced strip

The author examines the problem of the state of stress of glass-reinforced strip under short-time loading, when viscoelastic effects are unimportant. The proposed model is composed of a system of parallel identical glass fibers the space between which is filled with a matrix—resin. The change in the elastic constants is found as a function of the volume content of glass reinforcing. Further, the stress distribution between the elementary fibers is investigated for a glass-reinforced plastic in the three-dimensional stress state.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 2, No. 4, pp. 593–602, 1966
