Schematic illustration of the stress-transfer models investigated in the present study. x, y, and z are the axes in a Cartesian coordinate system. a The elastic matrix model (Masuda et al. 2003) after Zhao and Ji (1997). 2 l = length of fibre; 2r 0  = diameter of fibre; 2R 0 = length of unit cell. b The Newtonian viscous matrix model (Masuda and Kimura 2004) modified after Ramberg (1955). z c  = thickness of competent layer; z i  = thickness of matrix; l = half-length of competent layer
