Abstract
AbstractAn experimental–computational hybrid system for measurement of thermal conductivity of orthotropic materials is developed. The system consists of two experimental parts and a finite element analysis part. First, the temperature distribution generated by uniform heating is measured with a thermal video system, and the thermal conductivity of Z direction is calculated. Second, the temperature distribution generated by small area heating is measured with the system. In the final step, thermal transfer analyses simulating the experiment support efficient data, and thermal conductivity of in‐plane directions is estimated by comparison between experimental and analytical temperature distributions. The orthotropic equivalent thermal conductivity of honeycomb materials obtained by this system agreed with the theoretical values. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
