Linking electrical and thermal conductivity through cross-property inclusion modelling

• We derive an inclusion model to link a composite’s thermal and electrical properties. This differential effective medium is independent of volume fraction. accurately published laboratory measurements on copper-graphite composites. The model’s inferred shape matches the graphite inclusions. new cross-property scheme for composite material’s conductivity as function its vice versa. Our assumes that one phase embedded in other relations are fraction, but depend aspect ratio show method successfully models composite, with matching physical work complements earlier results elastic-electrical modelling, has potential be extended different relationships.
