Neutral Inhomogeneities in a Two-dimensional Steady-state Heat Conduction Problem
Authors: ,
Abstract: A steady-state heat conduction problem is considered in a two-dimensional solid body which is filled up composite circular inclusions. The composite circular inclusions consist of a core and a coating both of which are cylindrically orthotropic. In this paper the neutral inhomogeneity is defined as a foreign body (inclusion) which can be introduced into the host body (matrix) without distributing the temperature field in the originally homogeneous body. The perfect thermal contacts are assumed to be between the different components of nonhomogeneous bodies.
