Abstract

Existing micromechanical approximation formulae for predicting the transverse thermal conductivity of unidirectional CFRP laminates from the properties of the constituents provide rather different results. The analytical accuracy of such formulae is examined by comparing with finite-element calculations and yields a pre-selection of two equations. Measurements by two different methods reveal that the self-consistent formula is the most realistic one.
