Abstract
A previously developed [4] general method of solving the nonlinear (in the statistical sense) boundary value problem of the theory of elasticity is used to determine the macroscopic moduli of elasticity of randomly reinforced plastics whose structure is simulated by a two-phase microinhomogeneous medium. The macroscopic modulus is represented in the form of a series composed of the sum of the mean value of the modulus and a sequence of corrections that take into account the central moments of the distribution of elastic constants. The limits of convergence of this series are established. The values of the macroscopic moduli for a glass-reinforced plastic obtained by calculation are compared with the experimental data.
