“…The thermal conductivity of perlite 0.047 W/mK [8], the thermal conductivity of resin 0.19 W/mK [9], and B is the volume fraction of the resin which is assumed to present a continuous path for heat flow [6]. With these values solved in MatLab, the thermal conductivity behavior of composite versus the fraction volume of resin is depicting in Figure 2.…”

“…For instance, the thermal characteristics of the composite materials are dependent on the orientation of the fibers [3]. In this regard, a mathematical model that has been successful for predicting the thermal conductivity of composites is the Mixture Rules [6]; it takes into account the amount and fiber orientation in the composite. The Mixture Rules is a mathematical model to determine the thermal conductivity of multidirectional composites of simple geometry.…”

“…The effective thermal conductivities and other thermo-physical properties of unidirectional fiberreinforced composites have been a topic of considerable investigations by theoretical [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], numerical [10][11][12][13][14][15], experimental [16,17] and mixed [18,19] means during the past decades, involving factors, such as properties of each phase, fiber volume fraction, geometrical arrangements and interface resistance etc. While the published literature is quite extensive, most of them studied the thermal conductivities parallel and perpendicular to the reinforcing fibers using a rule of mixture, namely, parallel and serial models, respectively.…”

“…While the published literature is quite extensive, most of them studied the thermal conductivities parallel and perpendicular to the reinforcing fibers using a rule of mixture, namely, parallel and serial models, respectively. And only in literatures [6] and [16] models that could be used to calculate in-plane thermal conductivities along arbitrary directions were introduced, but it is worthwhile noting that the two models give different results and besides, neither of them has yet been proved by experimental data.…”

An empirical network model has been developed to predict the in-plane thermal conductivities along arbitrary directions for unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites lamina. Measurements of thermal conductivities along different orientations were carried out. Good agreement was observed between values predicted by the network model and the experimental data; compared with the established analytical models, the newly proposed network model could give values with higher precision. Therefore, this network model is helpful to get a wider and more comprehensive understanding of heat transmission characteristics of fiberreinforced composites and can be utilized as guidance to design and fabricate laminated composites with specific directional or specific locational thermal conductivities for structures that simultaneously perform mechanical and thermal functions, i.e. multifunctional structures (MFS).

Various approaches for approximating upper and lower bounds for the elastic sti ness tensor for general woven fabric composites are ÿrst described. Well accepted minimum energy principles are brie y presented to establish the foundation for practical ÿnite element procedures for determining these bounds. Secondly, comparisons of four common homogenization procedures are shown: the strain energy balance method, the plate approximation method, a direct approach via area averaging, and asymptotic expansion homogenization. As a limiting case, all of the methods obtain the well-known Rule of Mixtures for a unidirectional uniaxial specimen. In attempting to consolidate much of the existing knowledge of structural constitutive models for woven fabric composites, this research seeks to summarize and compare various homogenization methods via ÿnite element analyses. Finally, some illustrative applications are presented.
