Abstract
Series-parallel and parallel-series models are used to calculate upper and lower bounds for a unidirectional fibre composite. It is shown that this simple approach produces comparatively close bounds which agree well with those calculated from more sophisticated analytical methods. This approach may be used for initial estimates of composite properties, e.g. when characterizing a new material. In some cases this may be sufficient for the design of simple composite structures.
