A fiber-reinforced periodic elastic composite with hexagonal cell, where the constituents exhibit transverse isotropic properties, is considered. The fiber cross-section is circular and the periodicity is the same in two directions. Analytical formulae are obtained for the effective thermoelastic properties of this composite by means of the asymptotic homogenization method. Comparisons with experimental data and other approaches are shown.
