Abstract The fundamental analysis of the mechanical response of composite media involves investigations on two levels of abstructions: the micro and the macro scale. These areas of study are known as micromechanics and lamination theory. This format is employed to treat a series of problems concerning (1) stiffness, creep, or viscoelastic properties; (2) strength and expansion properties for oriented continuous and short fibers; (3) randomly oriented fibers; (4) injection‐molded materials; and (5) particulate reinforcements.
