Abstract
The authors investigate the stability of the five-layer model of a reinforced polymer. With the aid of a system of fourth-order differential-difference equations derived from the condition of equilibrium of the elements of the model and the compatibility of deformations at the interface, they derive an equation relating the compressive strength of an oriented glass-fiber-reinforced plastic to the diameter of the reinforcing fibers. They show experimentally that the strength of the glass-fiber-reinforced plastic increases with the fiber diameter; this relation is fairly well approximated by a straight line.
