The pseudoisotropic laminate analogy is used in conjunction with fiber composite micro and macromechanics to predict the thermal and mechanical properties of planar randomly reinforced fiber composites (PRRFC). Theoretical results are presented for boron/epoxy, Thornel-50/epoxy, and S-glass/epoxy PRRFC. The results show that the thermal and elastic properties depend on both constituent materials and the fiber volume ratio. The strength depends also on the type of applied stress.
