This paper is a continuation of the previous work by \textit{A. J. M. Spencer} and the author [Int. J. Nonlinear Mech. 42, 355--368 (2007)] on finite deformations of fiber reinforced elastic solids with fiber bending resistance. The basic results, which are essentially relevant to ideal fiber-reinforced materials of either solid or fluid nature and to hyper-elastic materials, are outlined. It is shown that for the plane deformations of incompressible materials reinforced by a single family of inextensible fibers resistant to bending, the relevant non-symmetric stress distributions can be determined completely by solving two simultaneous first-order linear differential equations. The constitutive equations are provided for studying finite plane deformations of the ideal fiber-reinforced solids, and a simplified version of the equations is given. The illustrative examples are given (i) for the plane-strain bending of a rectangular block reinforced by a family of straight fibers running parallel to one of its sides, and (ii) for the problem of the area preserving azimuthal shear strain of a circular cylindrical tube having the cross-section reinforced by a family of strong fibers. A pure azimuthal-shear deformation of the tube and the fibers aligned along the radial direction of the undeformed tube cross-section are studied in detail. The stress state with the area-preserving azimuthal-shear deformation is resolved, and the corresponding stress components are found for a strain energy density of the tube material.
