Approximate Expressions for the Elastic Constants of Cord-Rubber Laminates

Abstract
The relatively simple equations given herein for the four independent elastic constants of a single ply of cord and rubber and for the three independent elastic constants of a cord-rubber angle-ply laminate can be used to assess with sufficient accuracy for many purposes the effect of changes in constituent material properties and/or ply geometry on the stiffness characteristics of unidirectional, filamentary composites used in pneumatic tires.
