A boundary element method is developed and used to compute the volume-average rheological properties of layered suspensions in a mean simple shearing flow up to a volume concentration of 0.5. The suspension is made up of a periodic array of neutrally buoyant, monosized spheroids in the x and y directions suspended in a Newtonian fluid that is subjected to a mean shear flow in the xz plane. The results for a monolayered suspension of spheres agree well with other simulations and some experimental results. Some new results for prolate and oblate spheroids are also given. Both the volume-average first and second normal stress differences are found to be zero in the simulation in all the cases considered.
