Abstract
This work discusses the effective specific heat of multi-phase composites. A new formulation is provided using property contribution tensors and the specific heat contribution tensor (scalar) is derived in the framework of the Non-interaction, the Mori–Tanaka, and the Maxwell effective field methods (EFMs). The novel formulas are presented for the general case of an anisotropic matrix with anisotropic inhomogeneities of diverse shapes and orientations. Two limited cases of particulate and fibrous two-phase composites are discussed and the results of the novel formulation are compared to results of experiments and finite element models, and exhibit a great agreement.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.
Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.
