Abstract
Recently, a new line of attack (1) has been pursued in order to study stresses and deformations theoretically in laminated and fibrous composite structures [see, e.g., (2–6) and references therein]. This theory takes into account both elastic and geometric properties of each constituent. Thus, it differs conceptually from the classical elastic modulus theory of composites. The classical theory has been shown to be satisfactory for static problems only, whereas the new theory yields good results for static as well as dynamic problems of composites. The reader is referred to Herrmann (7) for a comprehensive discussion of these theories.
