Abstract
Effects of fiber anisotropy on the local critical buckling loads are estimated. The problem formulation deals with a transversely isotropic elastic fiber embedded in a matrix. In the solution, surface effects of the matrix are taken into account. A perfect adhesion between the fiber and the matrix is assumed. A solution procedure is proposed. Numerical results demonstrate the application of the method.
