direction of the rib AA, gives a 7D structure, and so on up to 13D which is the most
complicated of the spatial structures under discussion.
Mechanical properties of multi-dimensional composite structures can be quali-
tatively predicted with microstructural models discussed, e.g., by Tarnopol’skii
