Abstract: | The connection between the form of the strength surface of an anisotropic material and the procedure of experimentally determining the starting parameters is examined. Strength surfaces which were constructed for a flat sheet of constructional plywood in four octants of stress space and strength surfaces constructed in three planes of symmetry for two fiberglass plastics in the third octant are shown.S.
