Abstract
Among composites, we can distinguish periodic structures, biperiodic structures, and structures with a functional gradation of material properties made of two or more materials. The selection of the composite’s constituent materials and the way they are distributed affects the weight of the composite, its strength, and other properties, as well as the way it conducts heat. This work is about studying the temperature distribution in composites, depending on the type of component material and its location. For this purpose, the Tolerance Averaging Technique and the Finite Difference Method were used. Differential equations describing heat conduction phenomena were obtained using the Tolerance Averaging Technique, while the Finite Difference Method was used to solve them. In terms of results, temperature distribution plots were produced showing the effect of the structure of the composite on the heat transfer properties.
