Abstract
A new micromechanical method, called the Weighted Residual Self‐Consistent Scheme (WRSCS), is developed to study the effective thermal conductivity of particulate composites. WRSCS provides us with a new approach to the approximation of effective thermal conductivity of particulate composites with arbitrary phase geometry based on the thermal conduction theory of two‐phase materials within the framework of SCS. FE analyses of a generalized multi‐inclusion model and GSCS model are also carried out in the prediction of the effective thermal conductivity at different inclusion volume fractions. Results show that the effective thermal conductivity depends not only on the properties and volume fractions of its constituents, but also on the geometric shape of the particulate.
