Abstract
A method is described with which to predict the effective thermal conductivities of fibre reinforced composites. It is based on the thermal-electrical analogy. Geometrical modelling of a laminate composite was attempted using a voxelisation method. The geometry of the woven fabric composite was discretised into yarn-type voxels and matrix-type voxels. This study used a balanced plain weave laminate composite of graphite and epoxy. Both in- and out-of-plane thermal conductivities were predicted for the composite. The effectiveness of the proposed method is claimed to be supported by the reasonable agreement between present results and previously reported research. 12 refs.
