Heat Transfer in Periodically Laminated Structures – Third Type Boundary Conditions

Abstract

This work is about a heat transfer phenomenon in relation to the periodically laminated composite. The specific type of thermal loading, analyzed in this paper, require formulation of Robin boundary conditions. To consider a layered structure of analyzed composite, the tolerance averaging technique is used. This method allows to take into account a thickness of the layers and obtain the equations with continuous coefficients. To solve these equations, the finite difference method is used, because an analytical solution is not available in this case (in contrast to the analogous issue in relation to a homogeneous layer).
