We present a simple and rigorous mathematical model and efficient numerical algorithm for the three-dimensional thermal stress analysis of composite structures used in high-temperature catalytic combustors. Numerical experiments are carried out for three types of cell geometries. A homogenization algorithm is implemented, and asymptotic formulae are derived for the effective elastic moduli of the periodic structures.
