Statistical boundary value problems of polymer mechanics

Research on statistical boundary value problems with applications in the mechanics of reinforced polymers is briefly reviewed. The common features of the models and mathematical methods used in connection with polycrystalline metals and materials of the glass-reinforced plastic type are noted.Sverdlovsk Branch of the V. A.
