Some problems of heat conduction in transversally graded composites
Alina Radzikowska, Jarosław Jędrysiak · PAMM · 2009
Abstract The object of considerations is a two‐component layer made of conductors non‐periodically distributed in the form of laminas along the layer thickness. It is assumed that the distribution of the macroscopic properties of this laminate is approximated by continuous slowly‐varying functions across laminas. Media of this kind can be treated as made of a functionally graded material. The aim of the paper is to apply the tolerance model, [8], to analyse one‐directional, non‐stationary heat conduction along the axis perpendicular to laminas. Moreover, received results are compared to the solutions obtained in the framework of the higher‐order theory, [1]. (© 2009 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
