Critical aspect ratio <strong>of</strong> a fiber composite<br />

Critical aspect ratio for a fiber composite<br />

• Isotropic fiber composite with high <strong>conductivity</strong><br />

fibers (and infinite interface conductance)<br />

• But this <strong>conductivity</strong> if obtained only if <strong>the</strong><br />

aspect ratio <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fiber is high<br />

• Troubling question: Did we measure <strong>the</strong><br />

relevant value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> conductance?<br />

"heat capacity G" vs. "heat conduction G"
