| Abstract: | A theory is proposed for fibrous composites with a matrix reinforced with spherical hollow and solid inclusions based on an internal stress field and structural models. The problem solutions are obtained for the fiber-averaged matrix level. The matrix properties are determined assuming a regular distribution of the matrix inclusions. The problem of accounting for the scatter of inclusion properties on the effective composite parameters is examined.Presented at the Ninth International Conference on the Mechanics of Composite Materials, Riga, Latvia (October, 1995).A.
