Abstract:
© 2017 In this paper, a facile method based on thermal-electrical analogy technique was developed to solve the heat flow transfer behavior in unidirectional fiber reinforced polymer composite. A modulating thermal resistance Rmd, correcting the heat flux, was introduced in the thermal resistance network to analyze two-dimensional square arrayed square fiber model of composite for its effective transverse thermal conductivity. The result of present method showed a better agreement with that of finite element method (FEM) than existed parallel or series thermal resistance network. Around this consideration, the composite reinforced by fiber with circular-cross section was also modeled to evaluate the transverse thermal conductivity, which still exhibit well consistent with experimental data. It indicates that the proposed method is enough accurate and effective for evaluating the thermal conductivity of unidirectional fiber composite and provides a facile approach to understand the complicated heat flow transfer behavior in composites.
