Modeling and testing of temperature behavior and resistive heating in a multifunctional composite
2004
Smart Structures and Materials 2004: Active Materials: Behavior and Mechanics
Heat-activated self-healing is a desirable property of multi-functional composite materials, particularly if the components of the material itself can be used as a heating element. The heating capabilities and resultant temperature changes of such a composite are investigated in this paper, using finite element modeling and then experimental testing. The composite to be tested consists of thin-wire copper fibers, chosen for particular electromagnetic properties, and an epoxy matrix, which will
