Fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. Perfect bonding between fibers and matrix. Matrix is free of voids. Applied loads are either parallel or normal to the fiber direction. Lamina is initially in a stress-free state (no residual stresses). Fiber and matrix behave as linearly elastic materials. Longitudinal Modulus Equal strain
