Theory of elastic solids reinforced with fibers resistant to extension, flexure and twist

A model of non-linearly elastic solids reinforced by continuously distributed embedded fibers is formulated in which elastic resistance of the fibers to extension, bending and twist is taken into account explicitly. This generalizes the conventional theory in which the solid is modeled as a transversely isotropic simple material.
