Analysis of Composites for Best Designs of Refractive Solar Concentrators

Abstract:

This Paper studies the important role of the Composites, in the complex process of designing Solar Refractive Concentrators, that would be unthinkable and unrealizable without their employment, when having necessary the technical characteristics that they make them viable. It contributes, also, the methodologies followed for the accomplishment of optimal prototypes, by means of Numeric Methods of simulation (Finite Elements), experimental on models and of characterization of composite laminates.
