What is it about?
This article deals with a simple geometric model of fiber-reinforced plastic composite (FRP composite). Using theoretical considerations, it is feasible to calculate basic mechanical parameters useful for stress analysis. All results in this paper have been obtained using computer program created in Mathematica environment.

Why is it important?
The geometric model is based on the model of R.A. Naik, however, the validity and limitations are studied carefully.
Perspectives
The method of calculation presented in this article can be applied to other weave patterns of FRP composites with other woven fabric geometries such as: Pierce’s model of plain weave, Pierce’s elliptic model, Kemp model with race track cross-section, and Hearle’s model.
