✦ Synopsis
Effective mechanical anisotropy in a fiber-reinforced composite material when both constituent phases have transversely isotropic mechanical properties is obtained by means of the asymptotic homogenization (AHM) and finite element (FEM) methods for the anti-plane longitudinal shear effective properties. It is shown that: (i) The source of anisotropy is the fiber spatial distribution in accordance with Neumann's principle. (ii) Composite longitudinal shear properties, C 1313 and C 2323 , obey the following statements:
