Development and Validation of Numerical Models for Evaluation of Foam-Vacuum Insulation Panel Composite Boards, Including Edge Effects
A combined finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental validation approach to estimating effective edge conductivities of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) embedded in foam-VIP composites is presented. The edge conductivities were estimated by comparing the simulation results with measurements of s...
