Predicting Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of Multiphase Composite Containing Phase Change Material (PCM) by Micromechanical Approaches

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work is devoted to the study of thermal and mechanical properties (stiffness and thermal conductivity tensors) of multiphase composite materials (mortar with PCMs). A micro-macro modeling is presented in order to predict these properties by using some classical homogenization schemes. The effective thermo-mechanical behavior is then analyzed by considering various PCM particle forms, concentrations, and orientations.
