Abstract


Metal matrix composites are materials with an increasing use in industrial applications. Generally, the estimation of their thermal conductivity does not take into account the type of reinforcements distribution within the matrix. By applying the Network Simulation Method, a 2-D network model is designed and simulated to determinate precise numerical values of thermal conductivity of composites with random distributions. The proposed model is applied to titanium and magnesium matrix composites reinforced with different types of continuous fibers.
