A model for the deformation of an elastic solid reinforced by embedded fibers is presented in which elastic resistance of the fibers to bending is incorporated. Within the framework of strain-gradient elasticity, we formulated the equilibrium equations and necessary boundary conditions which describe the finite plane deformations of fiber-reinforced composite materials. The resulting nonlinear partial differential equations are numerically solved by employing the finite element method. A complete analytical solutions is also obtained within the limitation of superposed incremental deformations.
