        abstract = {Randomly fiber reinforced composites (RFRC) are becoming warming area of research because of its usefulness in structural applications. However, selection of micromechanics models that can predict well the mechanical properties of these materials become problematic due to randomly orientation nature of the fiber. This discourages many researchers from its utilization. This paper reviewed few available literatures of micromechanics models Viz: Series and Parallel, Modified rule of mixtures (ROM)models, Hirsh, Bowyer and Bader, Halpin-Tsai and Tsai Pagano, Lewis Nielson, Manera, Cox-krenchel, Pan 2D and 3D and Christensen and wall, of elastic modulus as employed by different researchers for these materials. It was discovered that Halpin, Neilson, Christensen-waal and manera are good for prediction of elastic modulus at low fiber volume fraction. While, Halpin micromechanics model is for high fiber volume fraction of random fiber composite. Generally, Hirsh micromechanics model emerged as overall best predictors of elastic modulus of random fiber composite as it appeared to fit many random fiber composites reported in this work.},
