Summary
Simple estimations for the overall conductivity and elastic properties of some isotropic locally-ordered composites are deduced from two different variational approaches. The estimations based on limited information about microgeometry of the composites lie inside the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds over the whole range of parameters.
