In this manuscript we use a concentric cylinder model to determine the stresses in a composite material subjected to transverse loading. After selecting a failure criterion, it is possible for us to determine a fiber coating which optimizes the strain to failure of the composite material. Experimental results are presented for a model composite system and the results are compared to the analytical predictions. The model is shown to give reasonable agreement with the experimental data.
