The Homogenization Method Applied to the Computation of E¤ective Thermal Conductivities of Composite Materials

چکیده
To solve boundary value problems of stationary heat distribution in composite materials, one has to solve partial di¤erential equations with rapidly oscillating coe¢cients. These equations are in general impossible to solve numerically by standard methods. Instead, one wants to ...nd constant, effective conductivities and solve the corresponding boundary value problem to get an approximate solution to the original problem. To compute these e¤ective parameters, we have developed a ...nite element computer program with integrated homogenization routines.

A Molecular Dynamics-Continuum Coupled Model for Heat Transfer in Composite Materials
The heat transfer problem in composite materials has been investigated which contains the nano-scale interface. A molecular dynamics-continuum coupled model is developed to study the heat transport from the macroto the micro-scales. The model includes four major parts: (1) A reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) is used to calculate the physical parameters such as the thermal condu...

This paper presents the bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method for the design of two-phase composite materials with optimal properties of stiffness and thermal conductivity. The composite material is modelled by microstructures in a periodical base cell (PBC). The homogenization method is used to derive the effective bulk modulus and thermal conductivity. BESO procedur...
متن کاملOn the integral representation formula for a two-component elastic composite
The aim of this paper is to derive, in the Hilbert space setting, an integral representation formula for the e ective elasticity tensor for a two-component composite of elastic materials, not necessarily wellordered. This integral representation formula implies a relation which links the e ective elastic moduli to the N -point correlation functions of the microstructure. Such relation not only ...
متن کاملComputation of effective electrical conductivity of composite materials: a novel approach based on analysis of graphs
In this work we continue the investigation of different approaches to conception and modeling of composite materials. The global method we focus on, is called ’stochastic homogenization’. In this approach, the classical deterministic homogenization techniques and procedures are used to compute the macroscopic parameters of a composite starting from its microscopic properties. The stochastic par...
متن کاملComputation of thermal properties via 3D homogenization of multiphase materials using FFT-based accelerated scheme
In this paper we study the thermal effective behaviour for 3D multiphase composite material consisting of three isotropic phases which are the matrix, the inclusions and the coating media. For this purpose we use an accelerated FFT-based scheme initially proposed in Eyre and Milton (1999) to evaluate the thermal conductivity tensor. Matrix and spherical inclusions media are polymers with simila...
