TL;DR: The combination of materials to form a new material system with enhanced material properties is a well documented historical fact as discussed by the authors, which is why many artisans from the Mediterranean and Far East used a form of composite technology in molding art works which were fabricated by layering cut paper in various sizes for producing desired shapes and contours.
Abstract: The combination of materials to form a new material system with enhanced material properties is a well documented historical fact. For example, the ancient Jewish workers during their tenure under the Pharaohs used chopped straws in bricks as a means of enhancing their structural integrity. The Japanese Samurai warriors were known to use laminated metals in the forging of their swords to obtain desirable material properties. Even certain artisans from the Mediterranean and Far East used a form of composite technology in molding art works which were fabricated by layering cut paper in various sizes for producing desired shapes and contours.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linear elasticity solution for the adhesive layer is developed, and it is shown that the longitudinal tensile stresses are negligible and that the shear stress state does not vary through the thickness of the adhesive layers.

TL;DR: A beam, column or rod is a long thin structural component of width b, height h and length L, where b/L ≪ and h/L = 1, as shown in Figure 4 as discussed by the authors.
