Abstract	This article discusses a simplified approach to analyze mechanical properties of randomly distributed short fiber composites. Mechanical properties of three different randomly oriented short fiber composites, cotton, nylon, and aluminium with vinylester resins, were experimentally investigated. The analytical results were compared with experimental results and a very good correlation was found. Further, the experimental results and the predictions showed that the strength of the composites is less than the strength of the matrix material, for all three composites tested.
