Abstract
Piezoelectric transversely isotropic matrix containing spheroidal piezoelec tric inclusions with different properties and of, generally, diverse aspect ratios is considered. A full set of ten effective electrostatic constants is derived, using the method of effective field. The case, when the inclusi ons are circular cylinders (fibers) is analyzed in detail. The results are compared with those of several earlier works. They constitute the theoretic al framework for the design of piezocomposites with prescribed overall prop erties.
