Fiber angle and bending stiffness

Hi
Would anyone have advice on how the bending stiffness of a fiber-matrix
composite depends on the angle of the fibers? Should be a pretty basic
problem, but I could only find information for the stiffness in tension,
not bending. I would need this to discuss the influence of changes in
the cellulose microfibril angle in wood cell walls on the bending
stiffness of the wood.
Thanks a lot!

You mention:
* bending stiffness of a fiber-matrix composite
* the angle of the fibers in it
* microfibril angle in cell walls
* bending stiffness of the wood
This covers quite a few levels. Hardly looks basic!

Thanks for breaking it down!! I can see the whole issue much clearer now!
However, my question still remains quite simple: the mathematical
relation between fiber angle and bending stiffness of a fiber matrix
composite.
