In the earlier lectures we have used the effective properties of the unidirectional layers in the development of various lamina or laminate mechanics issues. However, we know that at microscale the fibrous composites are heterogeneous. A composite is made of two main phases - fiber and matrix. Further, we know that apart from these two phases, addi...
