Mori-Tanaka Based Estimates of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Various Engineering Materials

The purpose of this paper is to present a simple micromechanics-based model to estimate the effective thermal conductivity of macroscopically isotropic materials of matrix-inclusion type. The methodology is based on the well-established Mori-Tanaka method for composite media reinforced with ellipsoi...
