Abstract
The stress distribution over the unidirectionally reinforced layers is investigated in relation to the layer thickness ratio and the direction of loading of a two-way reinforced plastic. An expression is obtained for the modulus of elasticity of the layered plastic in an arbitrary direction relative to the directions of reinforcement. The effect of the geometry of the structure of the layered material on its deformation properties is experimentally illustrated.
