| Abstract: | The mechanism governing the transmission of stresses in layer-like composite materials is analyzed on the basis of the equations of Bolotin's 2, 7] theory of layer-like media. A solution is presented for the plane problem of stress distribution in a medium under the influence of loads at the boundary of one of the reinforcing layers. Some approximate solutions based on various simplifying approximations are presented, and the limits of their applicability are discussed. Simple equations are given for the stress maxima in the binding layers. The results are used in order to discuss the mechanism underlying the transmission of stresses in layered materials.Moscow Power Institute.
