Abstract The main problem referred in the present research is how to correctly and efficiently predict the averaged effective properties of a composite on the example of an irregular particle-reinforced composite in which the distribution, shape and orientation of particles are fully disordered (chaotic). In the present analysis a new method is proposed in which such composite is considered as a multi-phase material, the constitutive description of which is derived on the basis of the total strain energy equivalence hypothesis. The method is verified both theoretically (by comparison with the results of other methods) and experimentally. A good agreement between theoretical and experimental results is observed.
