Overall stiffnesses and compliances, thermal expansion coefficients, and stress and strain averages are evaluated for a fibrous composite lamina which contains a given density of open transverse cracks and is subjected to uniform mechanical loads and thermal changes. The evaluation procedure is based on the self-consistent method and is similar, in principle, to that used in finding elastic constants of unidirectional com posites.
