Abstract
In this paper, a technique for the calculation of the electrical transverse conductivity of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), based on Markov chains, is proposed. Inspired by the microscopic cross-sectional structure of CFRP, an electrical percolation system is constructed. The effective transverse conductivity is derived from an equivalent conductance of the percolation network. To achieve such a determination, a notion of escape probability associated to absorbing Markov chains is applied. The obtained results are compared with those given by percolation theory; and also with published experimental data. Our results are shown to be in good agreement with the references.
