medium constituted of an n-layered transversely isotropic cylindrical inclusion, surrounded
by a transversely isotropic cylindrical matrix subjected to uniform conditions at infinity. From
these results, the average strain and stress are calculated in each phase and in the n-
layered inclusion. These averages are used in order to estimate the overall elastic moduli of
heterogeneous fibre-reinforced materials. Christensen and Lo's energy condition for the …

The elastic strain and stress fields in an n-layered transversely isotropic cylindrical inclusion
surrounded or not by an infinite transversely isotropic cylindrical matrix and subjected to
uniform conditions respectively at infinity or on the limit of the n-layered inclusion are derived
in a simpler way than before by means of a recently introduced transfer matrix. The interface
between the different phases can be perfect or imperfect. These fields are used to calculate
the average strain and stress in each phase and in the n-layered inclusion. Thanks to this …
