A technique is developed for calculating the elastic constants of a uniaxial fibre-reinforced composite in which long fibres are arranged on a square lattice. Infinite series Airy stress functions are utilized. The boundary value problem for a unit cell is solved numerically by truncating the infinite series and satisfying the boundary conditions at discrete points.
