Modeling of Thermal Conductivity of CVI-Densified Composites at Fiber and Bundle Level

The evolution of the thermal conductivities of the unidirectional, 2D woven and 3D braided composites during the CVI (chemical vapor infiltration) process have been numerically studied by the finite element method. The results show that the dual-scale pores play an important role in the thermal cond...
