Abstract
Composites which are used to form engineering materials and which consist of strong stiff fibres in a polymer resin require scientific understanding from which design procedures may be developed. The mechanical and physical properties of the composite are clearly controlled by their constituent properties and by the micro structural configurations. It is therefore necessary to be able to predict properties when parameter variations take place.
