The effective elastic properties of a fiber-reinforced composite material with multiple transversely isotropic inclusions are estimated by the use of a generalized self-consistent method, which considers strong interactions between the inclusion and matrix as well as among inclusions. The accuracy of this method is established by comparing to the closed-form analytic solutions by Christensen when...
