Abstract

A study of the effects of thermal material anisotropy and laminate configuration on the temperature fields of composite slabs and cylinders is presented. The study is facilitated by the development of a 3-D solution using complex series expansions and the properties of adjoint differential forms. Due to the generality of the solution technique, the slab and cylinder laminate configuration can be considered as consisting of any number of individually anisotropic lamina with the most general form of linear inter-lamina and external boundary conditions. Based on the solution, several numerical examples revealing the effects of material anisotropy and laminate configuration are presented.
