• A model of elastic solids reinforced with fibers resistant to extension and bending is formulated in finite-plane elastostatics. The linear theory of the proposed model is also derived through which a complete analytical solution is obtained. The presented model can serve as an alternative two-dimensional Cosserat theory of non-linear elasticity.
