Abstract
The article is dedicated to the theoretical investigation of mechanical properties of matrix composites reinforced with short axisymmetric fibers. The advanced self-consistent method (variant of the effective field method) is applied here for evaluation of elastic moduli and coefficients of thermal expansion in solids with short stiff fibers of various types.
