Abstract
The laminate model for paper presented in previous work is used to predict the influence of moisture content and strain rate on the in-plane elastic modulus anisotropy ratios and Poisson's ratios. The predictions are supported by experimental evidence. The laminate theory further predicts that the zero-span strength of a sheet is not a measure of fibre strength but rather is a measure of the strength of the cell wall material in the fibril direction. This prediction is also supported by experimental evidence.
