Lower and Upper Bounds of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Ceramic/Metal Composites

Abstract:

In this paper, the lower and upper bounds of Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio are determined by the effective stress method and effective strain method from material mechanics. The effective heat flux method based on the hypothesis of equivalent temperature difference and the effective temperature difference method based on the hypothesis of equivalent heat flux are proposed, the lower and upper bounds of the thermal conductivity of ceramic/metal composite material are determined similarly. The result shows that the property values of ceramic/metal composites calculated from current theoretical property formulas are within the lower and upper bounds determined by the above methods.
