Based on the two-dimensional (plane-strain) micromechanical fiber interaction framework, we investigate effective transverse elastic moduli of two-phase brittle matrix composites containing many randomly located yet unidirectional aligned circular fibers. The fibers are characterized as infinitely long and equal-sized inclusions. By employing the local-pairwise fiber interaction formulation coupled with the ensemble-area averaged field equations, the proposed approximate analysis leads to a novel, higher-order (in fiber volume fraction) method for prediction of effective transverse elastic moduli of two-phase fiber reinforced composites.
