Hybridization effect on the mechanical properties of curaua/glass fiber composites (2013, background): “This model includes a limiting stress transfer efficiency factor named gL, based on fiber length and other factors, and a parameter to account for the type of fiber orientation, named go [17].”
Mechanical properties of polypropylene composites (2013, background): “BS also known as flexural strength is defined as a material’s ability to resist deformation under load.(127) BS represents the highest stress experienced within the material at the moment of rupture.”

Development of Flax Fibre based Textile Reinforcements for Composite Applications (2006, methodology): “, using maleic-anhydrate grafted PP [2–4] the resulting improved properties are not sufficient enough for the use of these composites to primary or load-bearing applications due to the random fibre distribution – the strength of the composite is still dominated by the polymer matrix rather than the ”
