3. Characteristics of an elementary fold

A unidirectional ply (figure 8 ) is made up of long, parallel fibers oriented in a single direction. These fibers are bonded by a resin. To be able to dimension a structure, it is necessary to characterize this ply in terms of rigidity and strength. Let's consider a parallelepipedic specimen made from this material and define the orthonormal reference frame ${O, \vec{l}, \vec{t}, \vec{z}}$ such that the axis ${O,$
