Abstract: | On the basis of a generalization of previously considered models of reinforced media solutions are constructed for problems of determining the effective parameters and internal stress, temperature, and electromagnetic fields with application to multicomponent reinforced materials. Special attention is paid to the construction of approximate relations for calculating the reduced characteristics of multicomponent materials from the given properties of the components, by means of which the problem of predicting the physical properties of new multiphase materials may be solved. The approximate equations for determining the parameters of two-component media of the oriented glass-reinforced plastic type, obtained by various authors, follow from these relations as a special case.Institute of Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev.
