AbstractAn empirical network model has been developed to predict the in-plane thermal conductivities along arbitrary directions for unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites lamina. Measurements of thermal conductivities along different orientations were carried out. Good agreement was observed between values predicted by the network model and the experimental data; compared with the established analytical models, the newly proposed network model could give values with higher precision. Therefore, this network model is helpful to get a wider and more comprehensive understanding of heat transmission characteristics of fiber-reinforced composites and can be utilized as guidance to design and fabricate laminated composites with specific directional or specific locational thermal conductivities for structures that simultaneously perform mechanical and thermal functions, i.e. multifunctional structures (MFS).

ABSTRACTWe determined the optical constants of a vanadium dioxide (VO2) thermochromic film deposited on glass substrate by ellipsometry in wavelength range from 380 nm to 1700 nm. The optical constants were employed to design the optimal stacked thin film structure for smart windows which control the solar radiation and heat transmission from the viewpoint of high luminous transmission.
