Characterization of composite materials, whose properties vary in space over microscopic
scales, has become a problem of broad interdisciplinary interest. In particular, estimation of …

The present review is intended to encompass the English language heat transfer papers
published in 1999. The papers have been placed into a number of subject categories. While …

Combining the well-known Bruggeman theory and Nan et al. results, formulas for predicting
the effective thermal conductivity of anisotropic particulate composites with an interface layer …

This paper presents a model for indirect photoacoustic response that includes thermal
memory effects. At low frequencies, the model reduces to the well-known thermal piston …

In this work heat transport in layered systems is analyzed using a hyperbolic heat
conduction equation and considering a modulated heat source for both Dirichlet and …

In recent years the study of thermal conduction in multilayered systems has become one of
the most interesting subjects, because of the research and development of an increasing …

Obtaining thermal parameters based in the analysis only on the amplitude or phase of the
photoacoustic (PA) signal from photothermal measurements is useful and valid once …

In this study, inverse analyses of the defects in carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are
performed using the transfer matrix approach. The material properties used in the …

The purpose of this paper is to discuss some solutions for the basic heat Fourier equation. It
is well known that solutions to the heat equation can only be obtained in simple analytical …

Alternative techniques have been proposed for material thermal characterization. One of
them is the Open Photoacoustic (OPC) technique, which uses a pressure variation induced …
