Unlike other researches in the field, the simultaneous influence of all structural elements on the elasticity module is studied in this paper. The obtained physical – mathematical model is in good accordance with the experimental results and it can be used in practice by calculating, prior to the production, the values the structural elements must have so that the composite has a certain elasticity module. The model gives the opportunity of quick and exact determination of the values for the structural elements without experimental determinations and successive difficult calculations.The method of establishing the optimum structure presented here can be also used for other composites and other mechanical properties.
