Prediction of Effective Thermal Conductivities of Four-Directional Carbon/Carbon Composites by Unit Cells with Different Sizes

Two-unit cells developed to predict the effective thermal conductivities of four-directional carbon/carbon composites with the finite element method are proposed in this paper. The smaller-size unit cell is formulated from the larger-size unit cell by two 180° rotational transformations. The tempera...
