Computer modeling of properties of a composite material with porous fillers

Abstract

The article is devoted to forecasting of heat-shielding and mechanical properties of composite materials based on porous fillers. Analytical dependencies for determining the thermal conductivity coefficient of materials of homogeneous and heterogeneous structure are given. Based on the finite element method, there has been developed a method for numerical determination of the thermal conductivity coefficient of composite materials with a variotropic structure. The results of computer studies are in line with the dependences obtained on analytical models. The expediency of using multilayer composite materials based on porous fillers in load-bearing and enclosing structures of shell and plate types has been shown.
