Thermal Conductivities

In this study it is demonstrated that thermal conductivities of polymeric fiber-reinforced composite materials can be enhanced by using coated fibers and by adding thermally conductive microspheres to the resin. Two and three-dimensional finite element unit cell models are developed to predict the directional thermal conductivities. The analyses are based on the flash pulse method. It is found that the thermal conductivities in the longitudinal and the transverse directions are highly dependent on the fiber and microsphere volume fractions as well as on the thermal conductivities of fiber, microsphere, and coatings. It is shown that the 2-D analysis is a good approximation for the 3-D model. Close agreements among analytical, finite element and experimental results are obtained.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
