As a foundation for the relative numerical analysis, their homogenizing scheme is here recast in the space of invertible 6 x 6 matrices with an appropriate operation. Averaging procedures for isotropic-isotropic composite with nonunidirectional transversely isotropic fiber orientation distributions are presented.text::journal::journal article::research article
