Abstract: A new self-consistent method is proposed to calculate the effective stiffness of unidirectional short-fiber composites where each transversely-isotropic short-fibers is embedded in an infinite ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a generalized analytical procedure for transient heat conduction in composite materials of two- and three-dimensional finite region. The Galerkin method is employed to obtain ...

Abstract: Numerical Green's function for steady-state heat conduction problems is derived in a finite-sized medium that may contain inclusions (fibers) in the matrix phase. Green's function is ...
