ε is the infinitesimal strain tensor; A is the fiber direction unit vector. This model is explicitly limited to small strains.
Spencer (1984) uses a stiffness matrix that relates the shear stress to the true strain vector, which introduces a factor of 2 in the elements of the stiffness matrix that govern shear in his Eq. (13).
For the case of a single fiber family with a mean orientation in the e1 direction, if the dispersion parameter κ equals zero, all fibers are aligned in the e1 direction. When κ = 1/3, the fibers are isotropically distributed. In the exponential term the quantity (1–3 κ)I4 is evaluated only if I4≥1.
where λ̃ is the stretch ratio in the fiber direction.
