Abstract

Model for overall thermal pressure coefficient (TPC) of a composite reinforced with layered particles is developed. It is based on the incremental homogenization scheme that replaces layered inclusions by homogeneous ones producing the same effect. Various laws of property variation across the interphase are discussed. It is shown that the most important parameters controlling effective TPC are the relative thickness of the interphase layer and the mean value of TPC across this layer.
